Abstract

In a disc reading device wherein the rotating speed is normally controlled by detecting the synchronizing signal part of a reproduced signal, a second speed control circuit is included for measuring the speed of the disc and controlling the speed to a desired value independently of the detected synchronizing signals. When signal drop-out or the like occurs, the second speed control circuit takes over.
