Abstract

A method of detecting a light spot control signal is disclosed in which, when information is reproduced from an optical disk for optically recording information, a signal level obtained at a high-reflectivity portion of the optical disk is taken out of a signal reproduced from the optical disk, and is used as a control signal, which controls a light spot so that it tracks information stored in the optical disk.
