An apparatus for scanning a track on a record carrier has a head (41) for providing a beam of radiation and generating at least one sensor signal. The device has a focusing unit for controlling a focusing element to maintain an in-focus position for generating a focused spot on the track. The sensor signal is converted into a displacement signal by a multitude of piecewise converters (42,43, 44), each converter converting a range of the sensor signal values into a position signal, and selection means (46) for selecting one of the position signals as the displacement signal based on an estimated displacement.
