Abstract
A method for detecting and compensating inclination of an objective lens includes the steps of: initially driving an optical disk and detecting a record signal while travelling on the track of the optical disk; checking whether a GFS signal according to the rotation of the optical disk is normally detected; checking a center error signal value outputted from the optical pick-up which reads a record data on the optical disk in case that the GFS signal is abnormally detected; and discriminating inclination of the objective lens on the basis of the checked center error signal value, thereby judging inclination of the objective lens quickly and accurately. In order to discriminate inclination of the objective lens by the optical disk driving apparatus, the GFS signal and the center error signal generated according to the rotation of the optical disk are all taken into consideration, so that the inclination of the objective lens in the optical pick-up is accurately and quickly discriminated. Thus, any malfunction caused due to the inclination of the objective lens can be restored within a short time (especially within 100 ms) to perform the normal operation.
