In a three-wavelength-compliant optical disk apparatus, the present invention enables to shorten time required for starting the apparatus such as discrimination of an optical disk and adjustment of a beam-expander. At the time of starting the apparatus, the operation of a tray driver which pulls a loaded optical disk within the apparatus is conducted in parallel with the operation of a beam-expander driver which allows a movable lens of the beam-expander to move to a predetermined position in accordance with the kind of optical disk. Further, at the time of discriminating the disk, the number of times an optical disk of a specific kind has continuously been loaded into the apparatus to date is stored in a memory, and a sequence of discriminating the kind of optical disk that is newly discriminated is switched by referring to the history information.
