Abstract
The optical disc device includes an optical pickup, a focus-error-signal generation section for generating a focus error signal of the differential astigmatic method by using a parameter and an electric signal outputted from a photodetector in the optical pickup, a control section for controlling the optical pickup to make a focus jump operation, and a parameter value changing section for temporarily changing a value of the parameter to be used to generate a focus error signal of the differential astigmatic method by the focus-error-signal generation section when the focus jump operation is performed by using the focus error signal of the differential astigmatic method.
