Patent ID: 7773474

Claim:
A disc apparatus, comprising: an optical pickup which irradiates an optical disc with a laser light to record and reproduce data; a motor which moves the optical pickup in a radial direction of the optical disc in accordance with an applied voltage level; and a controller which controls the optical pickup and the motor, wherein the controller further includes a recording unit which records a predetermined reference voltage level and a coefficient and a calculating means which calculates a voltage level so that a seek operation is performed by driving the motor to move the optical pick up to a target track or a position close to the target track, and when a targeted number of tracks between a start position track which the optical pickup is positioned over at start of the seek operation and the target track is equal to or larger than a predetermined threshold level, the calculating means calculates a voltage adjusted level based on a remaining number of tracks between a current position track which the optical pickup is positioned over and the target track, the coefficient, and the targeted number of tracks, calculates the voltage level based on the voltage adjusted level and the reference voltage level; and makes the recording unit record the voltage level as the reference voltage level, the motor moves the optical pickup in accordance with the voltage level, and the controller performs the seek operation repeatedly until the remaining number of tracks becomes smaller than the predetermined threshold level.
