ABSTRACT:
For recording or reproduction of information, the optical beam is moved relative to the recording medium along the longitudinal direction of a certain track. When accessing another track, the relative movement of the light beam along the longitudinal direction of the track is decelerated, and during this deceleration, the light beam is started to move in the direction transverse to the tracks toward the desired track. Thus, it is not necessary to wait for such time when the relative movement of the light beam along the longitudinal direction of the track has been completely stopped, and hence the necessary accessing time can substantially be reduced. If control is made to cause a decelerating rate of the relative movement to decrease continuously gradually or stepwise from a relatively high decelerating rate to a relatively low rate and the light beam is caused to start relatively moving toward the desired track while the relative movement is at the relatively low decelerating rate, it is allowed to effectively suppress occurrence of unwanted mechanical vibration due to abrupt deceleration of the relative movement.
