Fast startup procedure for multimode data players and/or recorders

摘要

A method which is used to accelerate the identifying of the type of data carrier at insertion of the data carrier in a multimode player and / or recorder which accepts different types of data carriers. Looking up (3) in a table of use statistics allows to determine which type (5) is most often used thus most probable to be encountered, and to select (6) a parameter or a set of parameters (8) associated to this type to test (9) the data carrier. <IMAGE>
