A reproduction device of a recording medium and a method for operating the same are disclosed. The reproduction device of a recording medium comprises a recording medium loading unit loading the recording medium, and inputting and/or outputting data of the recording medium; a main board provided with a central processing unit implementing reproduction of the recording medium in accordance with an input signal or a previously set program; and a key operation unit directly connected with a loader of the recording medium loading unit. Accordingly, the sub application processing open and/or close of the recording medium loading unit is actuated after a power supply of the reproduction device is turned, whereby the time required to detach or insert the recording medium from or to the reproduction device can be reduced.

Reproduction device of recording medium and method for operating the same

In one embodiment, the recording medium includes a management area storing management information. The management information includes navigation information for reproducing data from the recording medium, and the navigation information including region information. The region information indicates at least one geographic region in which reproduction of the data is permitted.

Recording medium, apparatus for reproducing data and method thereof

The present invention relates to a high-density disk that is structured to prevent a collision of an optical pickup's objective lens with the high-density disk if the disk is placed upside down in a disk device that is able to record and reproduce signals to/from the high-density disk. A high-density disk recording medium according to the present invention has a reflecting thin film or label, formed on a surface opposite to a recording surface, to block a beam incident to an inserted disk not to travel up to a lead-in area, which a disk device tries to read first when a disk is placed, in the event that the inserted disk has been misplaced upside down.

Recording medium having a reflector to prevent traveling of beam to recording layer

A tray of an optical disk player including a disk mounting portion on which an optical disk is stably mounted; a front wall formed on the front to surround the disk mounting portion; a rear wall formed on the rear of the tray to surround the disk mounting portion, the front wall is formed to have a distance from the center of a spindle to the front wall not less than a value obtained by adding 2.75 mm to a radius of a large-sized disk and not greater than a distance from the center of the spindle to a tray front end. In the tray, by increasing a flutter occurrence speed, although the optical disk player has a high recording/reproducing speed, occurrence of flutter can be prevented, and accordingly it is possible to reduce error in disk reproducing/recording and prevent noise occurrence and wrong operation.
