Abstract

The present invention provides an optical disk device that reduces a track lead-in time associated with a seek time. A switching means 50 includes a multiplier A 11 for multiplying an output of a speed control means 5 by &agr; and a multiplier B 12 for multiplying an output of a position control means 6 by (1−&agr;), and an adder 13 for adding an output of the multiplier A 11 and an output of the multiplier B 12 to output a result of the addition as control input to an actuator driving means 8. At the time of movement of an optical pickup 3 toward a target track, the multiplier factor &agr; for the multipliers A 11 and B 12 is set at 0, thereby performing control of the actuator driving means 8 by means of the position control means 6. After the optical pickup 3 reaches the vicinity of the target track, the multiplier factor &agr; is set to be gradually increased from 0 to 1 at a predetermined ratio, whereby the speed control means 5 is gradually made operate to make the lens 2 follow the eccentricity of the optical disk 1.
