[0066]

[0067]
In the layer number field, “1” or “0” indicating layer 1 or 0 is recorded.

[0068]
First, a tracking control method based on the PID number of the header field 11 provided between the groove sector and the groove sector or between the land sector and the land sector will be described with reference to FIGS.
[0069]
The header field 11 is composed of a plurality of pits P as shown in FIG. The centers of the pits constituting the headers H12-1 and H12-2 are located on the same line as the tangent line between the land sector L02 and the groove sector G12 (or the land sector L01 and the groove sector G11). The centers of the pits constituting the header H22-3 and the header H22-4 are located on the same line as the tangent line of the groove sector G12 and the land sector L22 (or the groove sector G11 and the land sector L21). The centers of the pits constituting the header H32-1 and the header H32-2 are located on the same line as the tangent line between the land sector L22 and the groove sector G32 (or the land sector L21 and the groove sector G31). The centers of the pits constituting the header H42-3 and the header H42-4 are located on the same line as the tangent line of the groove sector G32 and the land sector L42 (or the groove sector G31 and the land sector L41). The centers of the pits constituting the header H52-1 and the header H52-2 are located on the same line as the tangent line between the land sector L42 and the groove sector G52 (or the land sector L41 and the groove sector G51). The centers of the pits constituting the header H62-3 and the header H62-4 are located on the same line as the tangent line of the groove sector G52 and the land sector L62 (or the groove sector G51 and the land sector L61).
[0070]
Also, the PID (physical ID number) number of each header of the header field 11 provided between the groove sectors has a relationship as shown in FIG. For example, description will be made by taking the PID number of each header provided between the groove sector G11 and the groove sector G12 as an example. Between the groove sector G11 and the groove sector G12, a header H12-1 (header 1 field), a header H12-2 (header 2 field), a header H22-3 (header 3 field), and a header H22-4 (header 4) Field). Also, the PID number of the header H12-1 is (n + 3N), the PID number of the header H12-2 is (n + 3N), the PID number of the header H22-3 is (n + 2N), and the PID number of the header H22-4 is (n + 2N). is there. That is, when the PID of each header provided between the groove sector and the groove sector is compared, the relationship of (PID number of header 1 field or header 2 field)> (PID number of header 3 field or header 4 field) is established. To do.
[0071]
On the other hand, the PID number of each header in the header field 11 provided between the land sectors has a relationship as shown in FIG. For example, description will be made by taking the PID number of each header provided between the land sector L21 and the land sector L22 as an example. Between land sector L21 and land sector L22, header H32-1 (header 1 field), header H32-2 (header 2 field), header H22-3 (header 3 field), and header H22-4 (header 4) Field). The PID number of the header H32-1 is (n + N), the PID number of the header H32-2 is (n + N), the PID number of the header H22-3 is (n + 2N), and the PID number of the header H22-4 is (n + 2N). is there. That is, when the PID of each header provided between the land sector and the land sector is compared, the relationship of (PID number of header 1 field or header 2 field) <(PID number of header 3 field or header 4 field) is established. To do.
[0072]
That is, if the relationship of (PID number of header 1 field or header 2 field)> (PID number of header 3 field or header 4 field) is found by header reproduction, the sector after this header is a groove sector. And reproduction processing corresponding to the groove sector can be performed. On the contrary, if the relationship of (PID number of header 1 field or header 2 field) <(PID number of header 3 field or header 4 field) is found by header reproduction, the sector after this header is a land sector. Thus, the reproduction process corresponding to the land sector can be performed.
[0073]
Note that the land sector and the groove sector are identified by the CPU 50 as an identification unit. Further, it is assumed that reproduction processing according to the identification result, that is, land tracking according to the land track, and groove tracking according to the groove sector are performed by a tracking control circuit as tracking control means.
[0074]
Next, a tracking control method based on the PID number of the header field 11 provided between the groove sector and the land sector, that is, at the change of the groove and land will be described with reference to FIGS.
[0075]
The header field 11 is composed of a plurality of pits P as shown in FIG. The centers of the pits constituting the header H20-3 and the header H20-4 are located on the same line as the tangent line between the groove sector G10 and the land sector L20. The centers of the pits constituting the headers H30-1 and H30-2 are located on the same line as the tangent line between the land sector L20 and the groove sector G30 (or the groove sector G1n and the land sector L2n). The centers of the pits constituting the header H40-3 and the header H40-4 are located on the same line as the tangent line between the groove sector G30 and the land sector L40 (or the land sector L2n and the groove sector G3n). The centers of the pits constituting the header H50-1 and the header H50-2 are located on the same line as the tangent line between the land sector L40 and the groove sector G50 (or the groove sector G3n and the land sector L4n). The centers of the pits constituting the header H60-3 and the header H60-4 are located on the same line as the tangent line of the groove sector G50 and the land sector L60 (or the land sector L4n and the groove sector G5n). The centers of the pits constituting the header H70-1 and the header H70-2 are located on the same line as the tangent line between the land sector L60 and the groove sector G70.
[0076]
Also, the PID (physical ID number) number of each header of the header field 11 provided between the land sector and the groove sector (when changing from the land sector to the groove sector) has a relationship as shown in FIG. For example, description will be made by taking as an example the PID number of each header provided between the land sector L2n and the groove sector G30. Between the land sector L2n and the groove sector G30, a header H30-1 (header 1 field), a header H30-2 (header 2 field), a header H40-3 (header 3 field), and a header H40-4 (header 4) Field). The header H30-1 has a PID number (m + 3N), the header H30-2 has a PID number (m + 3N), the header H40-3 has a PID number (m + 2N), and the header H40-4 has a PID number (m + 2N). is there. That is, when the PID of each header provided between the land sector and the groove sector is compared, the relationship of (PID number of header 1 field or header 2 field)> (PID number of header 3 field or header 4 field) is established. To do.
[0077]
On the other hand, the PID number of each header in the header field 11 provided between the groove sector and the land sector (when changing from the groove sector to the land sector) has a relationship as shown in FIG. For example, description will be made by taking the PID number of each header provided between the groove sector G3n and the land sector L40 as an example. Between the groove sector G3n and the land sector L40, a header H50-1 (header 1 field), a header H50-2 (header 2 field), a header H40-3 (header 3 field), and a header H40-4 (header 4) Field). The header H50-1 PID number is (m + N), the header H50-2 PID number is (m + N), the header H40-3 PID number is (m + 2N), and the header H40-4 PID number is (m + 2N). is there. That is, when the PID of each header provided between the groove sector and the land sector is compared, the relationship of (PID number of header 1 field or header 2 field) <(PID number of header 3 field or header 4 field) is established. To do.
[0078]
That is, if the relationship of (PID number of header 1 field or header 2 field)> (PID number of header 3 field or header 4 field) is found by header reproduction, the sector after this header is a groove sector. And reproduction processing corresponding to the groove sector can be performed. On the contrary, if the relationship of (PID number of header 1 field or header 2 field) <(PID number of header 3 field or header 4 field) is found by header reproduction, the sector after this header is a land sector. Thus, the reproduction process corresponding to the land sector can be performed.
[0079]
Note that the land sector and the groove sector are identified by the CPU 50 as an identification unit. Further, it is assumed that reproduction processing according to the identification result, that is, land tracking according to the land track, and groove tracking according to the groove sector are performed by a tracking control circuit as tracking control means.
[0080]
As described above with reference to FIGS. 6 to 9, the subsequent sector is a land sector because of the size relationship between the header 1 field (or header 2 field) and the header 3 field (or header 4 field) obtained by header reproduction. Or a groove sector can be identified. Based on this identification result, the drive coil 32 is driven by the track drive signal output from the tracking control circuit 28, and land tracking and groove tracking are switched.
[0081]
Next, a tracking control method by sector type will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 10, sector type information is recorded in each sector in one track (land track or groove track) as described above. That is, the first sector of the track is the “first sector”, the last sector of the track is the “last sector”, the sector immediately before the last sector of the track is “the last sector”, the first sector of the track and the track In the sector between the sector immediately before the last sector, “other sector” is recorded as sector type information.
[0082]
Therefore, the track change can be detected based on the sector type information recorded in the sectors before and after the change between the tracks, that is, the land track and the groove track. For example, if it is found from the reproduced sector type information that this sector is the last sector, it can be detected that the track is switched after the next sector. If it is found from the reproduced sector type information that this sector is the last sector, it can be detected that the track is switched in the next sector. Furthermore, if it is determined from the reproduced sector type information that this sector is the first sector, it can be detected that the track has been switched. These detections are performed by the CPU 50 as detection means. Further, it is assumed that reproduction processing according to the detection result, that is, land tracking according to the land track, and groove tracking according to the groove sector are performed by a tracking control circuit as tracking control means.
[0083]
In the present invention, switching from a land track to a groove track or from a groove track to a land track can be detected based on the sector type recorded in the sector type field. Based on the detection result, the drive coil 32 is driven by the track drive signal output from the tracking control circuit 28 to switch between land tracking and groove tracking.
[0084]
Next, tracking control using an analog tracking control method, a tracking control method based on a PID number, and a tracking control method based on a sector type will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
[0085]
As shown in FIG. 11, the processing proceeds in the order of seek operation (ST10) and track-on (ST12), and the analog tracking control described above is executed (ST14).
[0086]
Subsequently, header playback is performed (ST16), and when the header is normally played back (ST18, YES), tracking control based on the PID number described above is executed (ST20). The tracking control based on the PID number can be executed if at least one of PID1 and PID2 and at least one of PID3 and PID4 can be reproduced. This is because in tracking control using this PID number, the magnitude relationship between PID1 or PID2 and PID3 or PID4 is the point of control. When tracking control by the PID number is normally executed (ST22, YES), the tracking control ends.
[0087]
When the tracking control by the PID number is not normally executed (ST22, NO) and at least one PID is reproduced (ST24, YES), information on the sector type included in the reproduced PID The tracking control based on the sector type described above is executed (ST26).
[0088]
When the tracking control by the PID number is not normally executed (ST22, NO) and the PID cannot be reproduced (ST24, NO), that is, when the sector type of the current sector cannot be reproduced, The current sector type is predicted from the sector type information of this sector (ST28), and tracking control is performed based on the prediction result. That is, if the previous sector is the last sector, the current sector is predicted to be the first sector, and switching from land tracking to groove tracking or from groove tracking to land tracking is performed (ST30). When the sector type of the current sector and the sector type of the previous sector are unknown, the current sector type is predicted from the sector type information of the previous sector.
