Abstract

An optical recording and reproducing apparatus for adjusting a tilt of an optical pickup in accordance with an amount of jitter of a reproduction signal, a tilt adjusting method therefor, and a recording control method. The optical recording and reproducing apparatus includes an optical pickup having an object lens, a tilt adjusting unit for adjusting a tilt angle of the object lens, a jitter detecting unit for detecting an amount of jitter of a reproducing signal generated by the optical pickup from a disk, and a tilt controlling unit for minimizing the amount of jitter by feeding the amount of jitter detected by the jitter detecting unit back to the tilt adjusting unit. According to the optical recording and reproducing apparatus, there is no need for a space in which a displacement sensor detecting the tilt angle of the optical pickup faces the disk.
