Servo control method for an opto-magnetic disc

摘要

A servo control method and an apparatus for an opto-magnetic disc swiftly converts a servo control system corresponding to a changed area when a current servo area is abruptly changed while executing a servo control operation related to a specific area of the opto-magnetic disc by an optional servo system. A control section periodically detects that the current servo area is changed to a different are due to an external shock or excessive tracking operation while executing the servo control operation, and converts the current servo system into the servo system relevant to the changed area. Thus, the time required to resume the servo control operation is reduced when the servo area is abruptly changed during the servo operation by a servo control apparatus.
