Abstract
In a case of recording data into an optical disk (100), a disk apparatus (10) rotates the optical disk (100) by a ZCLV system, and in a case of reading out the data from the optical disk, the disk apparatus rotates the optical disk by a ZCAV system. By rotating the optical disk by the ZCLV system, a DSP (28) performs a read of a modified read carried out before recording, and a read of a verification carried out after the recording, and thereby, no occurrence of a change of a rotating speed of the optical disk among the modified read, the recording, and the verification.
Claims7
A disk apparatus that performs an information reproduction from a disk recording medium when a read command is issued, and performs an information recording to said disk recording medium when a write command is issued, comprising:
- a setter for setting a rotating system of said disk recording medium to a zone constant linear velocity system when a command to be occurred is said write command;
- a counter for counting the number of continued occurrences of said read command;
- and
- a switcher for switching the rotating system of said disk recording medium between said zone constant linear velocity system and a zone constant angular velocity system corresponding to a count value of said counter when the command to be occurred is said read command,
- wherein when said counter value is set to zero or when the counter is set to one and a retry flag is set indicating a previous read failure then the rotating system of said disk recording medium is set to the zone constant linear velocity system, and when said counter is set to two or higher, the rotating system of said disk recording medium is set to the zone constant angular velocity system.
A disk apparatus, comprising:
- a determiner for determining whether or not a variable indicates a default value in response to a read command;
- a first mode setter for setting a control mode to control a rotating speed of a disk recording medium to a first mode when a determination result of said determiner is affirmative;
- a changer for changing a value of the variable in association with a setting process of said first mode setter;
- a second mode setter for setting the control mode to a second mode when the determination result of said determiner is negative;
- a first read processor for executing a read process on said disk recording medium after a setting process of said first mode setter or said second mode setter;
- a write processor for executing a write process on said disk recording medium in response to a write command;
- a third mode setter for setting the control mode to the first mode corresponding to the write process of said write processor;
- a second read processor for executing a read process for verification on said disk recording medium in response to a verify command which is issued next to the write command;
- and
- a variable setter for setting the variable to the default value in association with the read process of said second read processor, wherein the read command noted by said determiner for a determining process includes a specific read command, and the write command is a command which is issued next to the specific read command.
