Abstract

Prior to recording/reproducing information to/from an optical disk rotationally driven by a spindle motor, an optical pickup is moved to a plurality of measuring positions set beforehand in a radial direction of the optical disk. A relative tilt between the optical disk and the optical pickup is detected with the spindle motor being rotated so that a linear velocity at each of the measuring positions equals a linear velocity upon actually recording or reproducing the information thereat. The tilt detected at each of the measuring positions is stored as tilt detection data corresponding to each of the measuring positions.
