Abstract
A method and system for correcting tracking errors in an optical storage medium having multiple tracks arranged in different layers of the optical storage medium, directs a reading spot that is nominally focused on to a track in the optical storage medium, and continually moves the reading spot in axial and radial directions so as to receive a signal having an amplitude which varies according to respective offsets from the track in radial and axial directions. The received signal is used to determine a direction of a respective offset from the track in radial and axial directions, and a location of the reading spot is adjusted accordingly.
