Method of controlling reproduction finish of optical disc reproducing apparatus and the optical disc reproducing apparatus

摘要

The reproduction finish of an optical disc reproducing apparatus is controlled. The optical disc has a program area, in which information is recorded one after another in a radial direction from an inner circumference toward an outer circumference. The information includes recording position information arranged at a predetermined interval in the radial direction. The controlling method includes the steps of: reading the recording position information one after another; continually comparing a presently read recording position information with a previously read recording position information; moving a reading position toward the outer circumference; distinguishing whether reading of the information at the reading position after moving is normal or not; and moving the reading position toward the inner circumference, and finishing the information reproduction.
