Abstract

When a optical head is moved towards a appointed track, a reference velocity is read out from reference velocity calculation data in accordance with the number of remaining tracks latched in a track counter circuit. Using the reference velocity calculation data, a compensated reference velocity is calculated from the read out reference velocity. A linear motor control circuit is controlled on the basis of the compensated reference velocity. Thereby, the velocity of the optical head is controlled. In addition, when the optical head is moved towards the appointed track, it is determined whether the optical head is in an acceleration operation mode or in a deceleration operation mode. If the optical head is in the acceleration operation mode, the velocity is controlled by using the reference velocity. If the optical head is in the deceleration operation mode, the velocity is controlled by using the compensated reference velocity.
