<p>The apparatus includes a reader (1) for reading out data from a recording medium (101), a controller (7) for controlling the position of the reader (1), and a determiner (2,3) for determining the number of tracks the controller (7) is to move the reader (1). A comparator (6) compares whether the determined number of tracks is less than a predetermined number of tracks in which each of the tracks has an essentially equal number of sectors therein. If so, the controller (7) moves the position of the reader (1) in accordance with the equation <MATH> wherein Tj is the number of tracks that the reader (1) is to move, St is the address of the target sector to be read out next, Sc is the address of the current sector, and Sn is the essentially equal number of sectors in a track. <IMAGE></p> |
