A method and apparatus provides an improved optical storage disk player. An improved method and apparatus for obtaining a tracking error signal for an optical disk player is disclosed which is general across the various data formats found in CD audio disks, CD-ROMs, and digital video disks. The present invention uses a photodetector with at least four active areas to sense the reflected laser beam. A differential amplitude tracking error signal is generated by comparing the signal strength in the different active areas.
