Abstract

A tilt servo control apparatus has a tilt error correcting device for correcting a tilt error caused by a tilt angle defined between a normal at an irradiating position of a laser beam irradiated onto a recording surface of an optical recording medium and an optical axis of the laser beam. The tilt error correcting device is driven based on an intensity of the reflected light of the laser beam irradiated onto the recording surface. The apparatus provides a control to hold a drive value of the tilt error correcting device to a predetermined value in response to a track jump command for changing the irradiating position of the laser beam from the first irradiating position to the second irradiating position that is away therefrom by a distance corresponding to a predetermined number of tracks.
