Abstract
An optical disk read/write apparatus detects a shift in the tilt during a write operation and corrects it before resuming the write operation. Specifically, when the ROPC control signal detector of the optical disk read/write apparatus controlling the write power determines that the write power has exceeded a predetermined value after a control operation, the optical disk read/write apparatus suspends the write operation through control of the laser power and controls the shift in the tilt with the tilt controller before resuming the write operation.
