Abstract

An optical disc device and tracking control method capable of stable tracking control even for inferior optical discs with tracks decentered by a large amount. The optical disc device and tracking control method includes: obtaining a rotation angle at which the degree of displacement of the track due to the eccentricity of the optical disc becomes maximum on the inner circumference side and the outer circumference side, and detecting the eccentricity amount of the optical disc; and performing track pull-in at the rotation angle, at which the degree of displacement of the track due to the eccentricity of the optical disc becomes maximum, detecting a displacement direction of the optical disc at the time of the pull-in, and moving the slider in the detected displacement direction for a distance equal to or almost equal to the eccentricity amount of the optical disc.
