Abstract

An automatic gain control device includes: reading unit for reading information signal from a recording medium; servo loop including servo control unit for controlling position of the reading unit with respect to the recording medium; mixing unit for mixing a disturbance signal into the servo loop; gain control unit detecting gain of the servo loop in accordance with level of the disturbance signal and varying the gain of the servo loop; and level detecting unit for discriminating whether level of the information signal read by the reading unit is higher than a predetermined level or not, wherein the mixing unit mixes the disturbance signal into the servo loop when the level of the information signal is higher than the predetermined level.
