ABSTRACT:
An information reading device for an optical disk has a peak level detector, a coupling capacitor, a comparator, and a resetting circuit. The comparator produces an on-track signal based on a detected peak signal from the peak level detector. Information tracks on the optical disk are searched based on a count of pulses of the on-track signal. The resetting circuit has a boundary detector and a switching circuit. The boundary detector produces a boundary signal indicative of the boundary between recorded and unrecorded regions on the optical disk. In response to the boundary signal, the switching circuit discharges stored charges of the coupling capacitor in the unrecorded region, causing detected peak signals in the recorded and unrecorded region to vary in amplitude across a common reference level.
