Abstract

Abstract A disk player is provided in which clock pulses of a frequency corresponding to the frequency of a synchronizing signal separated from a video signal obtained from the disk is generated and a disk code separated from the video signal is demodulated by the clock pulses, which makes it possible to perform a search operation in a short time.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim 132 words
A disk player for playing a disk carrying thereon an information signal including a composite video signal having at a preselected section thereof a disk code modulated by a modulation method comprising: a play means for playing said disk so as to read said information signal from said disk; a separation means for separating a synchronizing signal and a disk code from the composite video signal contained in said information signal; a clock pulse generation means for generating clock pulses of a frequency corresponding to the frequency of the synchronizing signal separated by said separation means; a demodulation means for demodulating the disk code separated by said separation means by using said clock pulses; and a controller for controlling said play means on the basis of the output of said demodulation means.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 132 words
A disk player for playing a disk carrying thereon an information signal including a composite video signal having at a preselected section thereof a disk code modulated by a modulation method comprising: a play means for playing said disk so as to read said information signal from said disk; a separation means for separating a synchronizing signal and a disk code from the composite video signal contained in said information signal; a clock pulse generation means for generating clock pulses of a frequency corresponding to the frequency of the synchronizing signal separated by said separation means; a demodulation means for demodulating the disk code separated by said separation means by using said clock pulses; and a controller for controlling said play means on the basis of the output of said demodulation means.
