This invention provides method and apparatus for controlling reproduction speed of an optical disk, which detects the magnitude of a disk vibration after initial operation of an optical disk and adjusts the disk rotation speed based upon the vibration magnitude. The method according to this invention comprises the steps of rotating an installed optical disk; detecting the quantity of signal derived from tracking error signals which are combined from signals reproduced from the optical disk when the rotation speed reaches to a predetermined speed; and deciding whether to increase the rotation speed above the predetermined speed based upon the detected quantity of the signal. This invention is able to reproduce an optical disk at the possible maximum speed within allowable speed limit through detecting accurate disk vibration magnitude at the initial operation stage and adjusting the reproduction speed to higher speed.
