Claims
- 1. An optical disc recording and reproducing apparatus for recording and reproducing data in and from an optical disc by the use of the optical disc as a recording medium, said apparatus comprising:analog processing means including a binarization unit for subjecting a signal read from the optical disc to binarization and a servo unit for controlling recording and reproducing a signal in and from the optical disc; synchronous clock generating means for generating a synchronous clock signal which is synchronized with the signal read from the optical disc; and clock selecting means for selecting one of the synchronous clock signal and a clock signal based on the information obtained from the analog processing means, and outputting the selected clock signal as a selection clock signal used for controlling the analog processing means.
- 2. The optical disc recording and reproducing apparatus of claim 1 wherein the information from the analog processing means which is obtained by the clock selecting means is a rotation clock signal based on the rotation of the optical disc, which is generated by the servo unit.
- 3. The optical disc recording and reproducing apparatus of claim 1 further comprising:a sector counter for holding a sector count value of a sector as a recording unit on the optical disc, and updating the sector count value according to the selection clock signal and a signal output from address detecting means; and gate signal generation switching means for generating a gate signal which controls the analog processing means based on the sector count value held in the sector counter, according to a signal indicating that an address has been detected, which is output from the address detecting means; wherein the gate signal generation switching means, when the clock selecting means has performed switching between the clock signals, does not generate the gate signal based on the sector count value until it receives the signal indicating that the address has been detected, as an input.
- 4. An optical disc recording and reproducing method for recording and reproducing data in and from an optical disc by the use of the optical disc as a recording medium, said method comprising:an analog processing step including a binarization process for subjecting a signal read from the optical disc to binarization and a servo control process for controlling recording and reproducing a signal in and from the optical disc; a synchronous clock generating step for generating a synchronous clock signal which is synchronized with the signal read from the optical disc; and a clock selecting step for selecting one of the synchronous clock signal and a clock signal based on the information obtained in the analog processing step, and outputting the selected clock signal as a selection clock signal used for controlling the analog processing step.
- 5. The optical disc recording and reproducing method of claim 4 wherein the information from the analog processing step which is obtained in the clock selecting step is a rotation clock signal based on the rotation of the optical disc, which is generated by the servo control process.
- 6. The optical disc recording and reproducing method of claim 4 further comprising:a sector counter step for holding a sector count value of a sector as a recording unit on the optical disc, and updating the sector count value according to the selection clock signal and a signal output in an address detecting step; and a gate signal generation switching step for generating a gate signal which controls the analog processing step based on the sector count value held in the sector counter step, according to a signal indicating that an address has been detected, which is output in the address detecting step; wherein in the gate signal generation switching step, when the clock selecting step has performed switching between the clock signals, the gate signal is not generated based on the sector count value until the signal indicating that the address has been detected is input.
