Information carrier apparatus and information carrier eccentricity correction method

摘要

An information carrier apparatus for accessing an information carrier having at least one track formed therein includes a times crossed detection section for detecting the number of times that a head structured to access the information carrier has crossed the track; an eccentricity direction detection section for detecting an eccentricity direction of the information carrier based on the number of times; an eccentricity distance detection section for detecting an eccentricity distance of the information carrier based on the eccentricity direction and the number of times; and an eccentricity correction section for correcting eccentricity of the information carrier based on the eccentricity direction and the eccentricity distance.
