Abstract
An optical disk player provided with tilt servo unit. A quadrant type photodetector is used as disk tilt detecting means, and the push-pull output is issued as a disk tilt detecting signal. By simultaneous use of the photodetector of the pickup, there is no need to use special-purpose tilt sensor, and this contributes to compact design of the pickup and to the reduction of manufacturing cost.
