Patent ID: 6985418

Claim:
An optical disk reproducing apparatus comprising a reproduction means which reproduces audio data stored on an optical disk, a storing means which stores the audio data reproduced by said reproduction means, and a readout instruction means which instructs a readout speed and a readout sequence of the audio data stored in said storing means, wherein said readout instruction means comprises; an operation disk, a disk on which said operation disk is mounted, a driver which rotationally drives said disk, a first detection means which detects the rotation speed and rotation direction of said operation disk, a second detection means which detects the rotation speed of said disk, and a controller which controls the readout speed and readout sequence of the audio data stored in said storing means based on the rotation speed and rotation direction of said operation disk detected by said first detection means, and controls said driver so that the rotation speed of said disk detected by said second detection means is kept constant.
