Abstract

In a light spot position control system and method in which a control of the irradiation position of a light spot such as a focusing control, a jitter correction and/or a tracking control is made through a sampling control, a newly sampled error value is compared with a one-preceding sampled value. When a difference between both the values is within a range of a predetermined width, the newly sampled value is used as a new sample value as it is. When the difference exceeds the range of the predetermined width, a sum of the one-preceding sampled value and the predetermined width is used as a new sample value. Thereby, the influence of erroneous samples is reduced.
