ABSTRACT:
An reproducing apparatus reproduces an optical record medium by irradiating the optical record medium with a reading light. The apparatus is provided with: a light irradiation device for irradiating the optical record medium with the reading light; a separation device for separating the reading light reflected by the optical record medium into a first light component which has a first polarization condition and a second light component which has a second polarization condition; a first receiving device for receiving the separated first light component, and outputting a first readout signal indicating the first light component; a second receiving device for receiving the separated second light component, and outputting a second readout signal indicating the second light component; a reproduction device for reproducing information recorded in the optical record medium in response to the readout signals; a first differential signal output device for outputting a first differential signal representing a difference between the first and second readout signals; a double refraction eliminating device for eliminating an effect of double refraction from the first differential signal, and outputting a second differential signal; and a control device for controlling a power of the reading light from the light irradiation device in response to the second differential signal.
