Abstract

Abstract A disk playing apparatus having a compensating circuit for compensating phase and frequency characteristics of a read signal from a disk, wherein a compensation characteristic of the compensating circuit is varied according to a linear velocity. The disk playing apparatus includes means for reading information from the disk and means for outputting velocity information indicative of a reading speed from the disk by the reading means. The compensation characteristic is varied according to the velocity information. Accordingly, in the case of a CLV disk, a flat group delay characteristic is always obtained irrespective of changes in the linear velocity.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim 82 words
A disk playing apparatus for playing a disk on which a digital signal treated by a predetermined modulation process is recorded, comprising: reading means for reading information recorded on said disk; velocity information outputting means for outputting velocity information indicating the speed of reading information from said disk by said reading means; and compensating means for compensating phase and frequency characteristics of a read signal obtained by said reading means, said compensating means having a compensation characteristic variable with said velocity information.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 82 words
A disk playing apparatus for playing a disk on which a digital signal treated by a predetermined modulation process is recorded, comprising: reading means for reading information recorded on said disk; velocity information outputting means for outputting velocity information indicating the speed of reading information from said disk by said reading means; and compensating means for compensating phase and frequency characteristics of a read signal obtained by said reading means, said compensating means having a compensation characteristic variable with said velocity information.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 39 words
The disk playing apparatus as defined in claim 1 further comprising designating means for designating a predetermined linear velocity, wherein said velocity information outputting means outputs said velocity information corresponding to said linear velocity designated by said designating means.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 49 words
The disk playing apparatus as defined in claim 1 further comprising means for generating a reproduced clock synchronized with a clock component included in said read signal by said reading means, wherein said velocity information outputting means outputs said velocity information corresponding to a frequency of said reproduced clock.
