Abstract
An optical disk device includes a pickup head, a thread motor, and a drive controller, and a thread drive IC. The drive controller supplies directed voltage to the thread drive IC. The thread drive IC in response supplies drive voltage to the thread motor, which moves the pickup based on the drive voltage from the thread drive IC. The drive controller directs to the thread drive IC supply of first directed voltage. The thread drive IC supplies first supplied voltage to the thread motor in response to the directive from the drive controller to supply the first directed voltage. The drive controller detects the first supplied voltage and calculates a correction value based on the detected first supplied voltage. The drive controller corrects the directed voltage with the correction value and then directs to the thread drive IC supply of a corrected drive voltage.
