Abstract:
An optical information reproducing apparatus which reproduces information recorded in an optical information recording medium comprisingan information reading part which reads the information recorded in said information recording medium and generates a reading signal, a signal processing part which performs signal processing of said reading signals and generates an information reproducing signal, a temperature detecting part which detects a temperature of said information reading part, and a control part which controls an information reading operation of said information reading part in response to a detected value from said temperature detecting part, wherein said control part performs a control so that said control part allows the reading operation of said information reading part only when said detected value falls within a first temperature setting range, said control part stops the reading operation of said information reading part when said detected value exceeds a second temperature setting range, and said control part allows a restarting of the reading operation of said information reading part when said detected value falls within a third temperature setting range, wherein said first temperature setting range is wider than said third temperature setting range and includes said third temperature setting range therein, and said second temperature setting range is wider than said first temperature setting range and includes said first temperature setting range therein.
