Method of and apparatus for optical information reproduction

摘要

In an optical information reproduction method and apparatus with a tracking servo system using a tracking error signal in the phase difference method, the effect of the offset which varies depending on the pit depth and the lens position can be corrected and a tracking error detecting means free from the offset can be obtained. To this end, the phase comparison means are made to receive a certain set of input signals during the offset correction, and a different set of input signals during the tracking error signal detection. The offset in the tracking error signal which varies depending on the pit depth and the lens position is obtained as a voltage value, and through repeated learning control, this offset is corrected. <IMAGE>
