Abstract:
A control apparatus for an optical disc player including a first processor circuit having an interface circuit for receiving data read from an optical disc, the first processor circuit having a first memory for storing the data received by the interface circuit and which does not require a refresh, a first signal processor, coupled to the first memory, for reading the data from the first memory and performing a Cross Interleave Reed Solomon Code (CIRC) processing operation on the read data to produce first processed data, the first processed data including a table of contents (TOC), a second memory for temporary storing the first processed data and which requires a refresh, and a second processor including a second signal processor for reading the first processed data from the second memory and performing a predetermined processing operation on the first processed data, the control apparatus comprising:a control circuit which causes the TOC stored in the second memory to be transferred to the first memory before the optical disk player enters a sleep mode and transfers the TOC stored in the first memory to the second memory upon termination of the sleep mode.
