Abstract
A reproducing apparatus for reproducing plural types of optical discs comprising: a comparator for digitizing a reproduced signal obtained by reproduction of a first optical disc which is to be reproduced under a first optical condition defined by a first reproducing reference under a second optical condition defined by a second reproducing reference applied to reproduction of a second optical disc having a recording density higher than that of the first optical disc, the comparing operation of the reproduced signal with a reference voltage different from that defined by the first reproducing reference; and a pulse length correction circuit for correcting a pulse length of a digital signal outputted from the comparator such that the pulse length of the digital signal is equal to another pulse length which would be obtained by digitizing another reproduced signal using the reference voltage defined by the first reproducing reference, the another reproduce signal being obtained by reproducing the first optical disc in accordance with the first reproducing reference.
