<p>An optical disc drive and optical disc reading method according to the present invention is designed to perform a read operation with good stability even on a slim disc that could produce a significant axial runout. For that purpose, the optical disc drive determines, by the time it has taken for the number of revolutions of a motor that rotates the optical disc loaded to reach a predetermined number, whether the disc loaded is a lightweight disc or not (in Step 202 ). The drive also determines, by a signal obtained from the optical disc, what the size of the optical disc loaded is (in Step 204 ). And if the drive decides, based on results of these processing steps, that the disc loaded is a slim disc, then the drive increases the number of revolutions of the optical disc to a predetermined number or more in Step 207 to minimize the influence of axial runout.</p> |
