Abstract

A servo-control apparatus is provided for use with an optical disc player for reading and/or recording information. The apparatus includes an adjustment section for performing coarse and fine adjustment of a servo loop gain in accordance with a storage medium loaded in the player; a memory for storing a gain adjustment value; a discriminator for determining, upon one of reading and recording information, that the storage medium has already been subjected to the coarse and fine adjustment; and a controller. The controller allows the adjustment section to perform the fine adjustment of the servo loop gain in accordance with the stored adjustment value when it is determined that the storage medium has already been subjected to the coarse and fine adjustment.
