Abstract

The optical disc reproducing apparatus comprises an ATIP demodulator which is supplied, from a matrix amplifier, with a wobble signal incorporating an address information in a modulated component thereof. In the ATIP demodulator, the free-run frequencies of the pair of VCOs change correspondingly to a moved position of a sled. Therefore, the ATIP demodulator can work well even if the carrier frequency of the wobble signal changes.
