Abstract

An open-loop test procedure under high rotating speed is entered to compute a first TE crossing track number. The first TE crossing track number greater than a first threshold indicates an unbalanced disc and results in a low-speed reading procedure. On the other hand, the first TE crossing track number less than a second threshold value that is less than the first threshold value indicates a normal disc and results in a high-speed reading procedure. When the first TE crossing track number lies between the first and second threshold values, another open-loop test procedure under low rotating speed is entered to compute a second TE crossing track number. A low-speed reading procedure is performed when the second TE crossing track number is greater than a third threshold value, and a high-speed reading procedure is performed when the second TE crossing track number is less than the third threshold value.
