1-2. APC Circuit Operation
It drives the LD to the constant current and adjusts the LD input current , so that the output current is
constant.
IC201 (TA1254F) Pin , : MD IN, Monitor Input of Laser diode APC
IC201 (TA1254F) Pin , : LD OUT, External Current Driver Control output of the LD (Laser Diode)
The detect current from the monitor diode converts to the I/V (Current/Voltage) at the external resistor.
Beforehand, it adjusts a fixed level over for a standard GND.
If this voltage inputs to the MD IN (IC201 Pin 44, 5), it is amplified about 270 times (about 48.7dB).
So this voltage outputs from the LD OUT (IC201 Pin 45, 4).
The LD driving element (Q201/Q202) uses the TR more than 200hfe, and controls LD OUT (IC201 Pin 45,
4) connected to the base of Q201/Q202.
The APC control for the each DVD/CD sets Registor of the IC201 (TA1254F) according to Disc in the
µ-COM.

3-2. Focus Servo for CD/DVD
Focus Servo for CD/DVD is based on focus error signal generated from RF AMP (TA1254F). It standardizes the
laser beam (CD:A, B, DVD:A, B, C, D) radiated from the pick-up.
Each other focus gain or path is made at the TA1254F (IC201) according to the disc, Focus Error signal
output from the FEO terminal and input to Servo IC (IC301 TC9461F).
After the first amplification of this signal, the signal is converted to A/D and input to Digital Equalizer Block
assigned the most important part at the Focus Servo, and generates the focus servo with coefficient value
set at the µ-COM through the Digital Filter.
At this Digital Equalizer, auto adjustment for Focus Balance or Focus Loop Gain occurs and the basic offset
value for pick-up is accepted on the balance mode, and set the focus standard level to this value.
After the signal for Focus Servo is converted to the D/A and output through FOO (IC301 TC9461F ).
This signal is amplified to gain through OP AMP (IC605), drives Focus Actuator through the Focus Drive IC
(IC604:BA6792Y).
3-3. Tracking Servo for CD/DVD
For Tracking Servo, CD uses 3 Beam method (E-F), DVD uses DPD (Differential Phase Detect) method
(phase difference for A+C signal and B+D signal).
According to the disc, Tracking Error is set at TA1254F, Gain or Path differs from each other, and the
generated signal output through the TEO terminal.
This signal input to TEI of IC301, after the first amplification, and converted to A/D.
The signal converted to A/D input to the Digital Equalizer assigned the most important part at the Tracking
Servo, Tracking Servo Gain is generated with Digital Filter coefficient value set according to the disc at the
µ-COM.
* Tracking balances at this digital equalizer automatically, adjusted balance input to pin TEB terminal of
IC201 through the pin (TEBC) of IC301. Tracking Error Balance is adjusted, and the reference level for
the balance sets offset value to produce differently according to CD/DVD at the first disc drive.
Tracking signal is converted to D/A through the pin TRO terminal of IC301 and output and amplified at
IC605 (OP AMP), and input to IC604 (BA6792-Y) tracking drive.
This drive drives the tracking actuator actually.
Also, DVD controls the DPDB for the balance by differential DPD Error signal according to the pit shape
type of disc. It controls the delay volume for A, B, C and D in the DPD TE generating mode, is adjusted
by a µ-COM, outputs PWM with the pin of IC401 (TC90A41F), and input to the pin DPDB of IC201
and is controlled.
3-4. Sled Servo (Feed Servo) for CD/DVD
Sled servo operates related with a tracking servo basically
It goes with the progressive track speed according to the disc rotation speed.
Sled drive voltage is generated with a accumulated capacity of tracking error signal and is applied sled
movement voltage according to the track movement capacity, and this voltage outputs to the pin FOO of
IC301. This value is amplified at IC610 (OP AMP) and the sled motor drove by the IC630 (Sled drive:
BA6792Y). But, the shift speed for pick-up is not controlled and broke with a only sled servo, itself, in the
data access mode, and the feedback is used according to the sled shift speed at this time.
So, the accurated shift speed for the pick-up is controlled added to the sleed signal.
The hall sensor is used in the feedback and DA0 (84) output at the µ-COM (IC501) is used with it in the
sled kick or break.

In the spindle speed control mode respectively.
CD 1 CLV drives CLV servo with PLL of RF data read and received at IC301 and output DMO of Pin 50
DVD 2 CLV : CLV servo is drove at IC401 and output DMO of Pin 52 .
CD 14/CD 24 output PWM at µ-COM directly (IC501 µ-COM Pin 99 : CAV DMO) and control spindle
speed.
IC controls spindle in CLVmode, µ-COM is monitoring FG signal output at the Pin 24 of spindle drive
(IC601: RA6849) in the CAV control mode only, and reads the current speed.
As a result, the PWM output, which adjusting the voltage of CAV DMO, is controlled and sustains the
desired CAV speed.
The output of hall sensor is used when the FG signal is generated.
The DMO signal output at IC301, IC401 and µ- COM is switched according to disc, amplified at IC602 (OP
AMP), input to IC601, output 3-beam of U, V, and W, and drives the spindle motor.

Block Diagram
Brief Process
1. Regional Code for DVD Disc
DVD-ROM drive transfers the regional code of the control data to host by the command of host, the DVD
player of host reads the regional code, and plays title in the case of allowed regional code only.
2. Management of DVD Disc for the scrambled of data
(1)DVD-ROM and DVD player of host generate the “KEY 1” respectively, transfer to opposite part, the
“KEY 2” is received, recognizes the data transfer or not with this value, and generates the bus key
encoded the data.
(2)Encoded “Disc Key” and “Title Key” host is transfer with the bus Key.
(3) DVD player of host reads the key value, and uses the value to restore the scrambled data.

4. About Prevention the DVD-ROM from to be copy
A data is able to encode and record in the disc, if a copyright holder wants to prevent the disc from copying.
In case of a disc enhanced movie of 3 titles......
DISC KEY (2048 Bytes) is used to encode the whole contents in the disc and TITLE
KEY (5 Bytes) is used to encode the title respectively.
So, the data is encoded and stored in a disc through the unknown algorithms
with a disc key and title key. ( At this time, the disc key and title key are stored
in a disc.)
...As above, the disc is able to copy when the disc key and title key are
opened.
Then, ROM-DRIVE encodes the disc key and title key and transfers to
MPEG-2 board.
If you want to play the disc prevented from the copy......
First of all, ROM-DRIVE and MPEG-2 board identify with each other through the procedure as described
below.
1.Drive and host gives and takes the ID of 2bit. This ID is AGID (Authentication Grant ID).
The various decoder boards are attached to the host, in these, AGID sets the MPEG-2 board and drive.
2.After the AGID is set, MPEG-2 board generates the challenge key (10 Byte) and transfers to drive. The
board and drive generate key 1 (5Byte) with the challenge key respectively. (Of course, the Algorithm
generating the key 1 is not known.)
3. Compare with the generated key 1, if it corresponds each other, the first step of authentication is
completed. This is a course to identify the MPEG-2 board with a drive.
4. The second step of authentication is a course to identify a drive with the MPEG-2 board.
The dirve generates a challenge key and transfers it to the MPEG-2 board. The dirve and MPEG-2 board
generate the key 2 (5Byte) with the challenge key, compare with each other, and if it corresponds and the
secondary step of authentication is completed.
5.As above, the identification is completed.
6.The dirve and MPEG-2 board generate the Bus key with the key 1 and key 2 and own it.
7.Dirve encodes the disc key and title key with this Bus key and transfers to the MPEG-2 board.
8.The MPEG-2 board reads the encoded disc key and title key with the Bus key only.
9.MPEG-2 board lets data read from the drive to decode with the read disc key and title key and makes into
the video signal by decoding.

IC201 (TA1254F) : RF Signal Processing for CD/DVD
It amplifies or equalize the RF signal from Pick-up, and generate the TE (Tracking Error) and FE
(Focus Error) signal for Servo respectively.
The TE signal uses the DPD (Differential Phase Detect) method for DVD and 3 Beam method for
CD.
