Abstract

See full text

According to one embodiment, an optical disk apparatus comprises an optical pickup which irradiates an optical disk with a light beam and receives reflected light from the disk, and a driving module which drives the pickup. The driving module includes an error detector which detects a tracking servo error with respect to a recording track on the disk from an output signal of the pickup and a tracking control module which performs tracking control over the pickup based on a servo error signal from the error detector. The control module is configured to temporarily set a tracking servo to an OFF state upon switching from a reproduction state to a recording state, measure an offset of the servo error signal, perform offset correction for the offset with respect to the servo error signal, and restore the tracking servo to an ON state after the offset correction.
