Method and device for protecting a servo in reading signals on a defect disc

Abstract

A device for protecting a servo in reading signals on a defect disc from disturbance and instability is provided. The device includes a defect detection unit and a logic combination unit. The defect detection unit receives a plurality of defect detection signals to detect various defects for setting a plurality of defect flag signals, wherein the plurality of defect detection signals at least include an envelope signal of a RF signal and bit modulation signals. The logic combination unit performs logic operation on the defect flag signals in order to detect a specified defect. The logic combination unit indicates a servo control unit generating low-pass output signals according to said plurality of defect flag signals for controlling related electromechanical devices to prevent from disturbance and instability when the specified defect is detected. A method for protecting a servo in reading signals on a defect disc is also provided.
