  • Patent number: 7480220
    Abstract: A tilt compensating device and method of performing normal tilt compensation in the event of a servo emergency which may occur during reproduction of data from an optical recording medium are provided. The tilt compensating device includes: an optical pickup; a tilt adjusting unit that adjusts a tilt angle of the optical pickup; a jitter detecting unit that detects an amount of jitter in a reproduction signal output from the optical pickup; and a controlling unit that monitors speed at which the optical recording medium operates using a phase-locked loop (PLL) signal generated from the reproduction signal and the degree of focus of the optical pickup, performs an operation to return to a normal state if any abnormality occurs, and controls operation of the tilt adjusting unit by comparing an amount of jitter detected at regular intervals against a reference.

  • Patent number: 7317671
    Abstract: An apparatus and a method of playing an optical recording medium, including a method of compensating for a tilt by a real time tilt detection before and during a playing operation of the optical recording medium. A tilt compensating apparatus includes an optical pickup, a tilt adjuster which adjust a tilt of the optical pickup, a jitter detector which detects a jittering amount of a playing signal generated from the optical pickup, and a tilt controller which controls operations of the tilt adjuster so as to have the jittering amount become minimum by comparing the jittering amount detected before a reproduction of a content of the optical recording medium with a first jittering reference value, and comparing the jittering amount detected during the reproducing of the optical recording medium, per a certain period, with a second reference value. Since the reproduction of the optical recording medium is performed after a tilt compensation, it takes a shorter time to start the reproduction operation.

  • Patent number: 7065020
    Abstract: A method for compensating for tilt in reproducing an optical reproducing medium is performed by determining an initial tilt driving direction so as to not interrupt a reproducer when tilt compensation is performed on the optical recording medium. The tilt compensation method involves comparing the amount of jitter detected over a certain period of time when the optical recording medium is reproduced with a reference value; determining the direction of tilt compensation in the direction of reproducing a track of the optical recording medium, before performing tilt compensation, when the amount of jitter detected, according to a comparison result of the comparator, exceeds a reference value; and resuming reproduction of the optical recording medium after performing tilt compensation so that the jitter decreases in the direction of the determined tilt compensation.

  • Publication number: 20040017754
    Abstract: A tilt adjusting method and apparatus use jitter feedback. The tilt adjusting apparatus includes a jitter detection unit, which detects the jitter quantity of a reproduction signal picked up by a pickup unit, a jitter data preprocessing unit, which filters the jitter quantity in a predetermined window interval unit and obtains a value of an objective function from the filtered jitter data in each predetermined time unit, and a tilt control unit, which obtains a tilt adjusting value by performing tilt control using the value of the objective function and feeds the obtained tilt adjusting value back to a tilt driving unit. According to the tilt-adjusting method and apparatus, when data on an optical disc with a tilt defect is reproduced, quantified jitter values being fed back are adjusted.
