ABSTRACT:
A regulation circuit which guides a laser beam along the data track of a recording medium includes a first comparator which receives an HF signal and a first threshold signal. The HF signal is normally high and goes low when the laser scans a dirty or damaged area of the recording medium. The first comparator provides a first output signal when the HF signal is less than the first threshold signal. A second comparator receives a tracking error signal and a second threshold signal. The tracking error signal is normally low and goes high when the laser leaves the data track. The second comparator provides a second output signal when the tracking error signal is high and exceeds the second threshold signal. The first and second output signals are input to an AND gate which provides a signal indicating that the laser beam has left the data track when the first and second output signals are both high.
