Abstract:
1. A built-in type optical disc apparatus having structures to be installed in a part of an electronic equipment having plural kinds of electric power source portions within a housing thereof, comprising, at least: a driver portion, which is configured to drive an optical disc at a predetermined rotation speed; an optical pickup, which is configured to irradiate a light beam from a semiconductor laser onto a recording surface of the optical disc, which is rotationally driven by said driver portion, so as to produce an electric signal upon receipt of a reflection light from said recording surface; a signal processor portion, which is configured to produce a desired signal upon basis of the electric signal, which is produced by said optical pickup; a feeder portion, which is configured to move said optical pickup into radial direction of said optical disc; and a controller portion, which is configured to control or drive the respective portions building up said optical disc apparatus, and further comprising: an electric power source portion, including: a first electric power source portion of said optical disc apparatus, which is configured to convert a first power source voltage, which is supplied from an electric power source portion provided within the housing of said electronic equipment, into a predetermined voltage, to be supplied to a part of the respective portions, which build up said optical disc apparatus; and a second electric power source portion of said optical disc apparatus, which is configured to convert a second power source voltage, which is supplied from another electric power source portion provided within the housing of said electronic equipment, into another predetermined voltage, to be supplied to other part of the respective portions, which build up said optical disc apparatus, wherein said electric power source portion of said optical disc apparatus further comprises an electric power source observation portion, which is configured to observe voltages of the first electric power source portion of said optical disc apparatus and the second electric power source portion of said optical disc apparatus, so as to release resetting of the controller portions and said signal processor portions, which build up said optical disc apparatus, when the voltages of said first electric power source portion and said second electric power source portion reach to predetermined voltages, respectively.
