Abstract
An optical disk device is disclosed that includes loop gain adjustment means for finding the first tracking loop gain of a first region, and loop gain estimation means for estimating the second loop gain of a second region on the basis of the loop gain of the first region. Accordingly, it is possible to set the optimal tracking control loop gain for all regions. As a side benefit, good tracking control stability can be ensured regardless of the region, which improves the reliability of reproduction and recording.
