2) RF amplifier and RF AGC amplifier
Photodetector outputs (A+C and B+D) are added, am-
plified and equalized in IC101, and output to the RFI
terminal as RF signal. (Eye pattern can be checked at
this terminal.)
Low-frequency components of voltage RFI is:
RFI = (A + B + C + D) x 3.22
where R111 is offset resistor to keep RFI signal within
the output range of the preamplifier. RFI signal is
goes under AC coupling, and is input to Pin 4 (RFIN
terminal).
IC101 contains an RF AGC circuit. RFO output from
Pin 2 is maintained to a constant level (1.2
±0.2 Vp-p).
The RFO signal is used in the EFM, DFCT, and MIRR
circuits.
3) EFM circuit
The EFM circuit converts RF signal into digital sig-
nals of "0" and "1." RFO signal after AC coupling is
input to Pin 1, and supplied to the EFM circuit.
Asymmetry caused during manufacturing of discs
cannot be eliminated solely by AC coupling. There-
fore, the system controls the reference voltage ASY
of the EFM comparator by using the fact that proba-
bility to generate "0" and "1" is 50% in EFM signal.
This reference voltage ASY is generated by output
from the EFM comparator through L.P.F. EFM signal
is output from Pin 35. As signal level, amplification is
2.5 Vp-p around REFO.
4) DFCT (defect) circuit
DFCT signal detects mirror defect in discs, and is out-
put from Pin 33. The system outputs "H" when a mir-
ror defect is detected.
If disc is soiled, the system determines it as lack of
mirror. Therefore, the system inputs the DFCT signal
output to the HOLD terminal of servo LSI. Focus and
tracking servo drives change to Hold status only
when DFCT output is in "H" so that performance of
the system upon detection of defect can be im-
proved.
5) RFOK circuit
The RFOK circuit outputs signal to show the timing of
focus closing servo, as well as the status of focus
closing during playback. The signal is output from
Pin 32. The system inputs the RFOK signal output to
the RFOK terminal of servo LSI. The servo LSI issues
Focus Close command. The system outputs signal in
"H" during focus closing and playback.
