Abstract:
1. A reproduction apparatus, comprising: rotational driving means for driving a disk-type recording medium to rotate; reproduction head means for reproducing digital information recorded on the disk-type recording medium driven to rotate by said rotational driving means; feeding means for feeding said reproduction head means by tracking servo control for accessing in a radial direction of the disk-type recording medium; and control means for controlling said rotational driving means to change over a rotational speed of the disk-type recording medium such that, within a period in which said reproduction head means reproduces the digital information recorded on the disk-type recording medium, the disk-type recording medium is rotated at a first rotational speed, but when said reproduction head means is fed in the radial direction of the disk-type recording medium by said feeding means for access of said reproduction means, the rotation speed of the disk-type recording medium is controlled to be at a second rotational speed which is lower than the first rotational speed.
