CD disc recording and reproducing device

Abstract

An optical disc recording and reproducing apparatus is provided. The apparatus detects the level of a focus error signal output from an optical pickup and a peak of the focus error signal occurred before the focus is obtained while an objective lens of the optical pickup moves in the focusing direction, discriminates a type of the loaded optical disc based on a first reference level or a second reference level, and actuates a focus servo before the objective lens moving in the focusing direction reaches a focalized position. Thus, a read only disc or a recordable disc can be rapidly reproduced.

Description

Technical field: [0001] The present invention relates to a device for recording and playing data to or from an optical disc, and more particularly relates to a device that can identify a read-only optical disc and record it to perform an appropriate playback process according to the type of the optical disc. Background technique: [0002] In recent years, minidisc (MD) recorders, MD players, and devices for recording and reproducing information data by using one of writable optical disks as optical disks have been widely used. [0003] MD recorders and MD players are compact disc recording and playback devices that can be used to play read-only and recordable compact discs in the same manner as compact disc (CD) players. [0004] The generally known first traditional example is to identify whether the optical disc is a read-only optical disc or a recordable optical disc through a sensor hole provided on the chuck head of the optical disc, and automatically switch the disc ty...
