Abstract:
1. An optical disc device comprising: a disk tray which transports an optical disk; a position detecting switch which detects a position of the disk tray; a stopper which positions the disk tray at an exposed position; a driving unit which drives the disk tray between a storage position and the exposed position, wherein the driving unit drives the disk tray with a first driving profile from the storage position to a position immediately before the exposed position at which the position detecting switch is switched ON, and with a second driving profile which has a relatively lower velocity than the first driving profile from the position immediately before the exposed position to the exposed position at which the disk tray contacts the stopper; and a controller which compares, with a reference time, a time when the disk tray is driven with the first driving profile from the storage position to the position immediately before the exposed position, and adjusts the second driving profile according to a comparison result.
