Abstract

An information recording/reproducing apparatus includes an optical head for projecting a light spot onto an optical disk, a fine actuator for causing a light spot to track a track of the optical disk, a coarse actuator for moving the light spot over a recording region of the optical disk, a movement detector for detecting a moving distance of the fine actuator and outputting a detection signal, and a driving circuit for adding the output signal from the movement detector and a drive signal for driving the fine actuator and forming a drive signal for driving the coarse actuator on the basis of the sum signal.
