Abstract
In an optical disc device that selectively implements a tracking servo and a spot position servo, a discontinuation cancellation unit is provided so that, when switching from the tracking servo to the spot position servo, and when switching in the opposite direction, the low-frequency component of the tracking drive signal and the low-frequency component of the spot position servo connect smoothly so that there is no step difference.
