Patent ID: 7668050

Claim:
A tracking error control system of an optical reproducing/recording apparatus, comprising: a tracking error signal generator in communication with an optical pickup head of the optical reproducing/recording apparatus, said tracking error signal generator operating optical signals received by said optical pickup head with an offset signal inputted therein to generate a tracking error signal; a DC detector in communication with said tracking error signal generator for detecting a direct current voltage of said tracking error signal; and a comparator in communication with said DC detector and said tracking error signal generator for comparing said direct current voltage with a reference voltage and adjusting said offset signal to be inputted into said tracking error signal generator according to the comparison result, wherein said comparator adjusts said offset signal to approximate said direct current voltage to said reference voltage in response to an enable signal input to said comparator, wherein said enable signal is input to said comparator when said optical pickup head performs an inward seeking operation.
