Magneto-optical disc recording and reproducing system with level clamping

摘要

A system of recording/reproducing data on and from a spiral or concentric track formed on a magneto-optical disc, in which a data recording area of the track is divided into a predetermined number of blocks. A reference data recording area is provided at a predetermined position of each of the blocks, in which continuous several bit data each of a high or low level is recorded, and, upon reproducing, a reproduced radio frequency signal is clamped at a signal level serving as a clamping level which is obtained by reproducing the data on the reference data recording area.
