SummaryCD-MO system in which playback rotational speed is higher than recording rotational speed.
AbstractAn optomagnetic disk recording and reproducing apparatus includes an optomagnetic disk having a vertical magnetic film capable of recording and reproducing an information signal, a recording and reproducing head unit for recording an information signal in the optomagnetic disk and reproducing an information signal recorded in the optomagnetic disk, a spindle motor for rotationally driving the optomagnetic disk, and means for controlling the spindle motor such that a rotational speed of the optomagnetic disk upon reproducing of an information signal recorded in the optomagnetic disk performed by the recording and reproducing head unit is set higher than the rotational speed of the optomagnetic disk upon recording of an information signal in the optomagnetic disk performed by the recording and reproducing head unit.
