Abstract
An optical disc drive device includes a spindle motor that rotates an optical disc, an OPU, a first controller that causes the spindle motor and the OPU to read recorded data from the rotating optical disc, and an transmitter that transmits the read recorded data to a signal processing device disposed external to the optical disc drive device. The recorded data transmitted by transmitter is stored in a buffer provided in the signal processing device. The first controller decreases the rotational speed of the optical disc based on free space information indicating the free space of the buffer.
