Optical disk reproducing apparatus for identifying whether the disk is a blank disc, partical disc, or a finalized disk

摘要

An optical disc reproducing apparatus reproduces an optical disc having an information recording surface on which record information and control information are recorded. The apparatus is provided with: a device for rotationally driving the optical disc; a reading device for forming a light spot on the information recording surface, and receiving a reflected light to generate a read signal of the reflected light; a device for reproducing the record information and the control information from the read signal; a device for detecting whether a focus of the light spot is normal or not according to the read signal; a device for detecting whether a rotation number of the optical disc is normal or not according to the read signal; and a device for discriminating the optical disc on the basis of conditions of the detected focus and the detected rotation number.
