Abstract
The present invention makes it possible to accurately and adequately adjust the position where sub beams are shone when performing tracking correction or CTC using three beams. The invention adjusts the positions where the sub beams are shone onto the surface of an optical disc DK by changing the angle of a diffraction gratingthat is mounted inside an optical pickup. When performing adjustment, the angle of the diffraction gratingis performed in three stages: (i) rough adjustment, (ii) initial fine adjustment and (iii) continuous fine adjustment.
