Abstract

Abstract A recording disk playback apparatus which is compatible with playback of both compact audio disks (CDs), having only a digitized audio signal recorded thereon, and recording disks having video and audio signals recorded by frequency modulation thereon together with a superimposed digitized audio signal (LDDs), includes means whereby a read-out clock signal which reads out temporarily stored digitized audio data from a memory is held fixed in frequency when a CD is being played, with closed-loop control of the speed of a CD drive motor being also executed, to thereby eliminate jitter in the demodulated audio signal, while during playing of an LDD the read-out clock signal is phase-locked with a playback clock signal.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim 229 words
A recording disk data playback apparatus capable of playback of a first type of recording disk having a signal recorded thereon which has been frequency modulated by a video signal and audio signal respectively, with first data which has been converted to a pulse train by digital modulation being superimposed thereon, and a second type of recording disk having recorded thereon second data which has been subjected to digital modulation processing to be converted to a pulse train, the apparatus comprising: demodulator means for demodulating a playback digital signal; write-in means for writing the demodulated output from said demodulator means into a memory in synchronism with a playback clock signal which is contained in said playback digital signal; clock signal generating means for generating a read-out clock signal, for reading out stored data from said memory; phase synchronization means for synchronizing the output from said clock signal generating means with said playback clock signal; drive means for controlling the speed of rotation of said second recording disk on the basis of an output from said phase synchronization means; means for inhibiting phase synchronization of said clock signal generating means by said phase synchronization means and for fixing the frequency of said read-out clock signal during playback of said second recording disk, and ; means for inhibiting speed control by said drive means during playback of said first recording disk.
