Abstract
Disclosed in an apparatus for optically scanning a record carrier in which the scanning beam is focussed on the record carrier by a focussing system. For automatically correcting an incorrect control point of the focussing system, the apparatus is provided with a phase detector to which are applied the focussing error signal generated by the focussing system and a signal corresponding to the amplitude of the information signal being read. The output signal supplied by the phase detector is applied to the focussing system a correction signal so as to automatically correct for an incorrect control point of the focussing system.
