Information record carrier S also can reproduce the information that is recorded on the DVD-R1.At this moment, according to modulation signal Sdm, reproducing signal Sot is output to the outside by processor 16.
Then, with reference to Fig. 4 to Fig. 7 the structure that describes pre-groove demoder 13 among the embodiment in detail is described.
Fig. 4 is the block scheme of pre-groove signal demoder 13.In Fig. 4,, also BPF27, swinging signal extraction apparatus 22 and servo circuit 15 are illustrated for the input signal of pre-groove signal demoder 13 is described.
As shown in Figure 4, pre-groove signal demoder 13 comprises a threshold setting portion 23, one multiplier 24, one comparer 25 and demoders 26 as the checkout equipment example as the modulating equipment example.
Shown in (A) among Fig. 6, the pre-information signal Spp that is input to BPF27 is a signal that comprises the high frequency noise composition.Owing to there is not this noise composition of elimination after this signal is by BPF27, pre-information signal Spp is imported in pre-groove signal demoder 13 and the swinging signal extraction apparatus 22 under the situation that has comprised this noise composition.
Swinging signal extraction apparatus 22 comprises a limiter, a BPF, a two condition converter etc., noise composition of elimination and a pre-groove signal composition from pre-information signal Spp, and to servo circuit 15 output extraction signal Sdt, this signal obtains by only extracting the hunting frequency composition, shown in (B) among Fig. 6.
As shown in Figure 5, servo circuit 15 comprises a VCO (voltage controlled oscillator) 27, a frequency divider 28, a multiplier 29, an amplifier 30,31 and BPF of a LPF (low-pass filter) are to constitute PLL (phaselocked loop) circuit and to export a PLL signal Spl synchronous with the swinging signal Sdtt that extracts.Shown in (C) among Fig. 6, this PLL signal Spl is phase place and the frequency that a phase place and frequency all equal the swinging signal Sdtt that extracts, and its peak swing position and the signal that is superimposed upon the position consistency of the pre-groove signal on the swinging signal Sdtt.
As mentioned above, because pre-groove 4 is positioned on the constant phase with respect to flute profile session 2, so the position that pre-groove 4 is superimposed on the swinging signal Sdtt also is constant.
Therefore, as mentioned above, from by producing gating signal the PLL signal Spl of servo circuit 15 output and to obtain pre-groove detection signal with logic product greater than the signal of the predetermined threshold of this pre-information signal Spp be possible by calculating this gating signal.
But, shown in (A) among Fig. 6, because it is noise that pre-information signal Spp is included in when detecting, rather than corresponding to the radio-frequency component of the frequency content of the hunting frequency of flute profile session 2, so very little in signal section and the level difference between other signal section corresponding to pre-groove.Like this, by utilizing the method for above-mentioned gating signal, it is difficult accurately detecting pre-groove signal.
Therefore, present embodiment is attempted to increase corresponding to the signal section of pre-groove and the level difference between other signal section, so that highly precisely detect pre-groove by utilizing PLL signal Spl that pre-information signal Spp is carried out amplitude modulation(PAM).
The phase place that has the phase place that equals pre-information signal Spp in the present embodiment with the PLL signal Spl of the synchronizing signal that acts on amplitude modulation(PAM), and its amplitude peak position is set as the position that pre-groove is applied.The maximum output valve of PLL signal Spl is set as the unit voltage value of the output voltage of the pre-information signal Spp of representative, as 1[V].The minimum output valve of PLL signal Spl is set as one on the occasion of not change the polarity of pre-information signal Spp.
If as shown in Figure 4, the PLL signal Spl with characteristic like this multiplies each other with pre-information signal Spp by multiplier 24, and then pre-information signal Spp is by amplitude modulation(PAM).In other words, except the pre-information signal Spp shown in (A) among Fig. 7, the part that multiplies each other with the amplitude peak position of the PLL signal Spl shown in (B) among signal section rather than the figure is by amplitude modulation(PAM), make its amplitude shown in (C) among Fig. 7, reduce, and do not change corresponding to the amplitude of the pre-groove signal composition of the amplitude peak position of PLL signal Spl.Therefore, utilize such modulation technique, the composition that only strengthens pre-groove signal is possible, also is possible thereby reduce above-mentioned noise effect.
In the present embodiment, except carrying out this amplitude modulation, the reference wobble signal Sref by threshold setting portion shown in Figure 4 23 bias voltage V1 is used as a threshold signal (but this swinging signal is not only as threshold signal) that extracts pre-groove signal composition from the pre-information signal Smlt after the modulation.This is because the output of swinging signal change up and down owing to the interference of the adjacent flute profile session 2 shown in (B) among Fig. 6 and dotted portion (D) itself makes to be difficult to accurately detect pre-groove signal.
In other words, shown in (E) among Fig. 6,, eliminated the change component that produces owing to interference in the output of swinging signal by pre-information signal Smlt and the reference wobble signal Sref of biased V1 after the modulation relatively, thereby accurately carried out pre-groove detection, shown in (F) among Fig. 6.
As mentioned above, according to present embodiment, the PLL signal Spl that is set as pre-groove location by the pre-information signal Smlt after the modulation relatively and the phase place phase place that equals swinging signal Sdtt and peak swing position, can when eliminating the change component that produces owing to the interference that is included in noise composition in the pre-information signal and swinging signal, accurately detect pre-groove signal.
Consequently,, can accurately carry out the Spin Control of DVD-R according to the pre-groove detection signal of pinpoint accuracy, and digital-information recording signal Srr exactly.
In the above-described embodiments, pre-groove signal is superimposed on the position on the swinging signal and the peak swing position consistency of swinging signal.But the present invention is not limited to this.In other words, the present invention is applicable to that also it is not on the position of peak swing position that pre-groove signal is superimposed on one.At this moment, the peak swing position of synchronizing signal can be set as the superposed positions of pre-groove signal.More specifically, the phase place of synchronizing signal can be according to pre-groove about the phase place of predefined hunting frequency and phase shift.
