Patent ID: 7738328

Claim:
An optical disk apparatus comprising: a servo controller, operable to execute a servo control of focusing based on a focus error signal and to execute a servo control of tracking based on a tracking error signal; a detrack regulator, operable to execute a detrack regulation for setting an offset voltage, which is to be added to the tracking error signal, to be a voltage for giving the highest signal quality of an output of an optical pickup; and a defocus regulator, operable to execute a defocus regulation for setting an offset voltage, which is to be added to the focus error signal, to be a voltage for giving the highest signal quality of the output of the optical pickup, wherein the defocus regulation is executed in a state in which the servo control of the focusing and the servo control of the tracking are executed, the defocus regulation is executed after the detrack regulation is executed, in the state in which the servo control of the focusing and the servo control of the tracking are executed, and the defocus regulation is executed after the detrack regulation is executed when the optical disk is a CD, and the defocus regulation is executed without executing the detrack regulation when the optical disk is a DVD.
