Abstract
An automatic gain control apparatus for an optical disc player is equipped in a servo loop to perform a servo control by use of an error signal in the optical disc player. The apparatus is provided with: a gain control device for controlling a gain of the servo loop to have a controlled gain value corresponding to a signal level of the error signal in one series of automatic gain controlling operation; a memory for storing the controlled gain value as a previously controlled gain value in said one series of automatic gain controlling operation; a comparison device for comparing the previously controlled gain value, which is stored in the memory, with a presently controlled gain value of the gain of the servo loop, which is presently controlled by the gain control device in another series of automatic gain controlling operation after said one series of automatic gain controlling operation; and a controller for instructing the gain control device to control the gain of the servo loop again if a difference between the previously controlled gain value and the presently controlled gain value is not less than a predetermined value according to a comparison result of the comparison device…
