<p>A data replay device that replays data from a disc-shaped recording medium. The data replay device can read data from a recording medium where the data is recorded in at least one of concentric and spiral tracks, with the tracks being divided into two distinct types, land tracks and groove tracks. The data replay device illuminates the recording medium with laser light and measures the reflectance to determine what type of track is being illuminated. Based on the type of illuminated track, the data replay device follows that track as the disc rotates by way of a motor. A host computer receives information from the data replay device and sends opera- tional signals to the data replay device. <IMAGE></p> |
