Abstract

In a tracking servo system for use in a disc player having a pickup, for playing an information recording disc having a recording track, the peak value of the tracking error signal obtained during a track jump operation is detected, and at least one of the pulse width and the pulse height of the deceleration pulse for the jump operation is varied in response to the detected peak value. With this feature, an appropriate control amount for the track jump operation corresponding to the track pitch is obtained even if there is a change in the track pitch.
