Abstract:
1. An apparatus for playing a multiple-layer optical disc, comprising an optical disc drive to read data of the multiple-layer optical disc, in which the data recorded on a previous layer and a subsequent layer of the multiple-layer optical disc is read in an OTP manner, wherein the optical disc drive comprises: a pick-up module; and a microcomputer to control the pick-up module such that, when a start sector at the beginning of an effective data area of the subsequent layer is located outward from a last sector of the previous layer, the pick-up module is moved to a position corresponding to the start sector at the beginning of the effective data area of the subsequent layer continuously after completing the reading of the data recorded on the previous layer, and is made to perform a layer jump to the position corresponding to the start sector at the beginning of the effective data area of the subsequent layer.
