Abstract
Because the lineal speed of a pre-recorded disc relative to a playback head depends on the radial position of the head with respect to the disc, the present invention calls for equalization that correspondingly varies as a function of the radial position of the playback head. Since the recorded tracks of the disc reside in a relatively narrow band about the disc--and because of the relatively large number of tracks within such band--an additional concept of the invention is to divide the band into head-position zones--each such zone corresponding to a different grouping of recorded tracks--and to employ equalization that is respective of the specified zones.
