Optical disk drive apparatus for searching a target track

摘要

The present invention provides an optical disk drive apparatus, and a method for driving the same, which makes the most of the ability of acceleration and deceleration in an actuator in a simple system configuration to realize fast seek operation of high reliability. An optical disk drive apparatus according to the present invention provides the means for determining whether the number of tracks from a current track to a target track is smaller than the predetermined number and the means for driving the fine actuator in the tracking direction under the velocity control based on a tracking error signal if the number of tracks from the current track to the target track is smaller than the predetermined number.
