<p>A type of disk in a reproducing device is accurately determined prior to data reproduction. To determine whether the disk type is Compact Disk (CD) or Digital Video Disk (DVD), a track pitch on the disk is examined, while the difference between the DVD Single Layer and DVD Dual layer is based on disk reflectance values. When the determined disk type turns out to be incorrect, an operation is carried out for estimating the correct disk type based on the highest likelihood of the disk type following the initial (incorrect) decision. The process is carried out until the correct disk type is identified, or the disk is determined to be unusable. <IMAGE></p> |
