Abstract
A system for generating an output signal indicating a specific area on an optical disc is disclosed. The system includes: a detecting circuit, a header signal generator, a protection circuit, a counter and an output signal generator. The detecting circuit detects pre-recorded address information on the optical disc to generate a detection signal. The header signal generator detects headers on the optical disc to generate a header signal. The protection circuit computes a first counter value and reloads the first counter value according to the detection signal and the header signal, wherein the protection circuit does not reload the first counter value twice successively due to the header signal. The counter computes a second counter value and reloads the second counter value according to the first counter value. The output signal generator generates the output signal according to the first counter value.
