Abstract

In an optical recording medium driving apparatus, only a frequency component corresponding to pits of an ID portion is detected from a total signal representing a total amount of reflected light from an optical disc by a high pass filter. With this frequency component clamped so that a potential at a maximum point becomes a definite potential, a changed amount of light of the total signal corresponding to pits is detected and a phase pit signal is generated. In response to this phase pit signal, a signal component corresponding to pits is removed from the total signal, thereby generating a pit removal signal.
