A control system determines read performance of an optical storage device
according to lock performance of a re-timing signal. The control system
includes a filtering and re-timing unit for receiving a radio frequency
(RF) signal and outputting the re-timing signal and an un-corrected
output signal, an error correction unit for receiving the un-corrected
output signal and correcting an error bit according to a Reed-Solomon
algorithm to generate a corrected output signal, a lock performance
detector for receiving the re-timing signal and detecting the lock
performance of the re-timing signal and then outputting a lock
performance index, and a servo control loop for receiving the RF signal
and the lock performance index and thus generating a servo control
signal. When the lock performance index does not reach a threshold value,
the servo control loop loads other control parameters to improve the read
performance of the optical storage device.
