Abstract
A pickup control device for a data reading device in which, for fast or slow reproduction modes, a slider motor is forcibly driven to change the relative position of the pickup and the disk in a radial direction of the disk after which the pickup is set to a normal or center position thereof. A slider motor for changing the relative position of the pickup and the disk is driven in response to a fast or slow reproduction instruction and a position signal representative of the position of the pickup is produced with which a tracking servo loop is opened for a predetermined period of time during which the pickup is returned to its normal position. With this construction, the pickup is prevented from returning to a first track from a second track to which it has jumped through a scratch or the like.
