A novel phase error predictor is proposed for servo system in home-use VCRs. The multirate system in VCRs is converted into a single period sampling system with faster sampling time by using the proposed novel phase error predictor. And the disturbances can be measured much faster. From the experimental results, we can see that the perfomance of the control system is improved greatly. The phase lock time of the proposed servo system is ten times faster than that of the conventional system.
