A tracking control device and method reduce the rate of occurrence of data error and improve the quality of reproduced images in a digital VTR. The tracking control device comprises a reproducing head for reproducing digital information from a recording medium, a forming circuit for forming a plurality of tracking error signals which respectively indicate positional deviations of the reproducing head from a plurality of areas into which each track formed on the recording medium is divided, a selecting circuit for selecting one tracking error signal from among the plurality of tracking error signals in accordance with their respective values, and a tracking control circuit for controlling a relative position between the reproducing head and the recording medium on the basis of the one tracking error signal selected by the selecting circuit.
