Abstract
A high-speed search method for searching a target address and for use in a disc player system having a slider for positioning a pickup for reading an information signal recorded on a disc as tracks, in a disc radius, and a tracking servo system for causing an information detecting point of the pickup to follow the track. An accelerating-and-decelerating move control mode in which the slider is accelerated and subsequently decelerated with the tracking servo loop open, and a constant speed move control mode in which the slider is moved at a constant speed by using address data obtained from a signal from the pickup are prepared, and a distance from a present position of the pickup to the target address is detected. Operations of the accelerating-and-decelerating move control mode and subsequently the constant speed move control mode are executed and the tracking servo loop is closed when the distance is equal to or greater than a predetermined value, whereas the operation of the constant speed move control mode is executed without executing the operation of the accelerating-and-decelerating move control mode and the tracking servo loop is closed when the distance is smaller than the predetermined value.
