Abstract

An apparatus for optically reading a recording medium having information tracks disposed on alternating inclined recording surfaces preferably arranged in separate but alternately interposed spirals inclined at different angles on the medium. The apparatus includes photodetectors for detecting light reflected from each of the tracks, and circuitry for controllably combining the signals from the photodetectors to minimize crosstalk in the recovered signals.
