Method for detecting eccentricity of an optical disc, and optical disc drive that performs the method

摘要

An optical disc drive includes a spindle motor and a computer program. The spindle motor is adapted for rotating an optical disc. The computer program configures the optical disc drive to perform consecutive steps of a method for detecting eccentricity of the optical disc, including: a) while the optical disc drive operates under focused and track-locked conditions, controlling the spindle motor to rotate the optical disc at a specified rotation speed; b) measuring an eccentricity value of the optical disc being rotated by the spindle motor; and c) comparing the eccentricity value measured in step b) with a reference value to determine extent of eccentricity of the optical disc.
