System for detecting rotational deviation of a rotary recording medium and an apparatus for reproducing a signal from the recording medium

摘要

During the storing of a tracking error signal and an index detection signal in memories in relation to rotating means for a recording medium, an error is detected when the number of index detection signals is other than one and afrer the storing of the signal in the memory the missing reproduced index detection signal is interpolated in accordance with the index signal stored in the memory. Also, the stored index detection signal and the reproduced index detection signal are compared in phase so as to determine whether the stored tracking error signal is to be applied to a tracking control system. The memory for storing tracking error signal and the memory for storing index detection signal are combined in one unit.
