Abstract
Since a disc vibrates in a natural mode at a predetermined rotation speed, a variation in a tilt of the disc relative to an optical head is caused. As a result, the read/write performance of a disc drive is deteriorated. The disc drive has a disc tilt database for recording a relative tilt angle of the disc in a tangential direction thereof associated with the disc natural mode and the disc rotation speed at which such tilt occurs, a circuit for detecting a disc rotation speed, and a tilt drive circuit. An objective lens is tilted so that the relative tilt angle is corrected, and thus, stable read/write performance of the disc drive is achieved.
