A track servo system in a recordable optical disc player utilizes clock signals produced by irradiating a laser beam (P) on clock pits (3) in servo areas as a reference signal for on-track adjustment. Based on the clock signal, the polarity of a tracking error signal is detected (20) for selectively opening and closing a servo loop (50) of the tracking servo system. CLOSED LOOP on-track adjustment is performed while a laser beam spot is in a range where the tracking error indicating value decreases as the distance of the laser beam spot from the track centre decreases. On the other hand, OPEN LOOP on-track adjustment is performed while the laser beam spot is in a range where the tracking error indicating value increases as Since the polarity of the tracking error signal indicates the range of the laser beam spot position, selection of the CLOSED LOOP and OPEN LOOP can be made without requiring the signal to be reproduced from the data area.
