A tilt detection apparatus for a medium comprises a tilt detection beam generator that makes a tilt detection beam incident ion a medium to detect whether the medium is tilted with respect to a reference position; a light reception unit that receives the tilt detection beam that after striking the medium, has come from the medium; and a correction output unit that outputs a signal to correct a tilt of the medium, based on a difference in light reception position on the light reception unit between a position at which the light reception unit receives the tilt detection beam and a position at which the light reception unit is to receive the tilt detection beam when the medium is in the reference position.
