ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides an optical pick-up head unit comprising a light source to radiate a beam, a focusing optical system to converge the beam on an optical recording medium, and a photodetector to output an electric signal corresponding to the quantity of received light. The photodetector includes a plurality of receiving parts and a plurality of I-V converting parts that receive respectively current signals outputted from the receiving parts and convert the current signals into voltage signals. First I-V receiving parts output signals that change in the positive direction when light enters the receiving parts while second I-V converting parts output signals that change in the negative direction when light enters the receiving parts. The receiving parts are respectively connected to any one of the first I-V converting parts or the second I-V converting parts. As a result, the optical pick-up head unit is less influenced by extraneous noise even at a high-speed reproduction, and it can reproduce information recorded on a medium with high reliability. The present invention also provides information record and playback equipment using the optical pick-up head unit.
