Abstract

A control apparatus comprises a linear actuator (49) which moves an optical head (37) having a photo detector (45) in a radial direction of an optical disk (33), a velocity detection circuit (57) which detects relative moving velocity of the optical head (37) to the optical disk (33) during track accessing, and a linear actuator drive control circuit (50) which controls the actuator (49) in response to the detected velocity. The velocity detection circuit (57) generates a digital signal which corresponds to a cycle of an RF output signal of the photo detector (45) and, in response to this digital signal, it further generates an analog signal, which corresponds to the inverse of the cycle of the RF signal, to be outputted as the relative moving velocity of the optical head (37).
