Appeal No. 95-0355 Application 08/022,561 claims are pending in the application. The subject matter here claimed relates to a method for reproducing main information data on a recording track previously formed on an optical recording medium (e.g., a magneto-optical disc) wherein the main information data is contained in frames, wherein each frame has a predetermined signal format including a frame sync signal format, and wherein reproduce-only frame sync signals having the same signal format as that of frame sync signals for the main information data are previously recorded for each frame by offsetting the recording track in a direction perpendicular to the length direction of the track. Appealed claim 8, the only independent claim on appeal, recites the steps of detecting the offset of the recording track to produce a first signal representative of the reproduce-only frame sync signals, reproducing from the recording medium a second signal corresponding to the main information data, and then using a single demodulating and decoding circuit (53-55) to demodulate and decode the detected first signal and the reproduced second signal to reproduce the frame sync signals of the main 2Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
