Abstract: A method for calibrating a tilt in a disc player includes a disc insertion judgment step, a focus error output time judgment step, a subtraction step, a disc recording surface judgment step, and a tilt calibration step. In the focus error output time judgment step, an optical pickup unit is made to ascend and then descend for a predetermined time, to then judge a first focus error output time at which a focus error is output during ascending and a second focus error output time at which a focus error is output during descending. A focus error output difference time is obtained by subtracting the FET1 from the FET2. In the tilt calibration step, if the FET is not same as a reference focus error output difference time (FETrf), the turntable is made to rotate, to calibrate a tilt between the optical pickup unit and the disc.

Abstract: A parallel distributed sample descrambler part for a cell-based ATM physical layer, comprising a PRBS generator for generating an 8-bit random number when being set to any value other than "0" in response to an initial value set signal upon initialization, to execute a generation polynomial for distributed sample descrambling given by x.sup.31 +x.sup.28 +1, and a descrambler for adding 8 bits of reception data to 8 bits of the random number from the PRBS generator, respectively, to perform the descrambling of the reception data and outputting the descrambled data bits. A sample processor extracts two bits for synchronization of the descrambler from the 8-bit random number from the PRBS generator as first and second samples in response to an external sampling clock and an external synchronous clock.
