Abstract

A low speed lens lock control unit detects an amount of an optical axial deviation of an objective lens from an offset of a tracking error signal which is obtained in a low speed seeking mode and drives a carriage actuator so as to set the optical axial deviation of the objective lens to zero. A high speed lens lock control unit detects an amount of an optical axial deviation of the objective lens from an offset of a tracking error signal which is obtained in a high speed seeking mode and drives a lens actuator so as to set the optical axial deviation of the objective lens to zero.
