A pickup drive apparatus for recording or reproducing with respect to a recording medium such as a CD and a DVD. In the apparatus, return light produced by irradiating an optical spot is detected by a photodetector, and a push-pull signal is produced from this detection output. A tracking error signal is produced from the push-pull signal by a low-pass filter and a phase compensating circuit. A quasi-ON/OFF control signal having information of an irradiation position of the optical spot is produced from the push-pull signal by a high-pass filter, a comparator, and a single pulse generator. When the quasi-ON/OFF control signal is produced which indicates that the optical spot is positioned on a groove, the tracking error signal is outputted via switching circuits in synchronism with this signal production. A pickup is servo-controlled based on this output signal.
