Speed control of optical information reproduction apparatus

摘要

A method for controlling speed of a spindle motor within a disk player is provided. The spindle motor drives a disk thereon and the disk player includes a pickup and a control circuit for performing focus and tracking operation of the pickup. The first step of method is to determine an allowable spin speed, Va, in accordance with a predetermined manner. The second step is to set speed of the spindle motor to operate at an allowable speed Va. The third step it to test if out-of-focus occurs during seeking of a particular track. If Yes in step 3, the fourth step is to re-focus the pickup. The fifth step is to set Va=Va- a predetermined decrement. The sixth step is to set speed of the spindle motor to operate at current Va decreased speed.
