Abstract
The present invention discloses a method for controlling an optical pick-up which enables the exact reproduction of a screen image at a user's desired location during a video-disk search. The control method stores the time when a search-off command, (i.e., a reproducing command signal) is input and the time when the pick-up is actually stopped, and then moves the pick-up toward the identified time location when the reproducing command signal was input to reproduce the disk. The control method prevents the reproduction of a track image at a location slightly beyond from a desired image caused by the inertia of a pick-up.
