Abstract: An optical memory device for recording, reproducing, or erasing information applies an optical beam such as a laser beam onto a recording medium. The optical memory device includes a recorded region detecting circuit for detecting information recorded region formed in the recording medium. In the optical memory device, a timing control for recording, reproducing, or erasing is performed with the use of a result obtained through detection of a synchronizing signal, such as a sector mark, indicative of a starting point of an information block and another result obtained through detection in the recorded region detecting circuit.

Abstract: A data modulation/demodulation system reproducing data that is divided and recorded in a plurality of blocks on a recording medium. The data modulation/demodulation system utilizes the steps of modulating the data by adding specified data bit patterns to the data bits of each block and reproducing the data which have been obtained by adding specified code bit patterns. The bit rows are independently demodulated by demodulation clocks which differ in phase. The demodulation bit pattern of the above code bit pattern which was added at the time of recording and the bit pattern which was demodulated by the different modulation clocks are compared with each other to determine which data is wrong. The correct demodulated data is selected according to this comparison and transmitted.
