Abstract
An apparatus for reproducing data from an optical disk by a light beam includes a housing which is movable in the readial direction of the optical disk. The housing includes a directing element for directing the light beam onto the optical disk, a detector for detecting the light beam from the optical disk so as to generate an electrical signal corresponding to the detected light beam, a dividing element for dividing the electrical signal generated by the detector into a low frequency component and a high frequency component, and an amplifier for amplifying the high frequency component divided by the dividing element. The reproducing apparatus further includes a moving element for moving the housing in radial direction of the optical disk, an adjuster for adjusting a distance of the directing element with respect to the optical disk in response to the low frequency component divided by the dividing element, and a reproducing circuit for reproducing data from the optical disk in response to the amplifier.
