ABSTRACT:
A deceleration control system is applied to an optical disk unit which includes an optical head for recording information on and/or reproducing information from tracks of an optical disk which rotates at a constant velocity by use of a light beam emitted from the optical head, a track actuator for moving the light beam in a direction traversing the tracks of the optical disk, and a tracking error signal generation circuit for deriving a tracking error signal TES from a signal which is output from the optical head and is dependent on a light beam received from the optical disk. The deceleration control system includes a velocity control part and a deceleration part. The velocity control part includes a first circuit for generating a target velocity V.sub.t, a second circuit for detecting a beam moving velocity V based on the tracking error signal TES derived by the tracking error signal generation circuit, and a third circuit for detecting a velocity error V.sub.e of the beam moving velocity V with respect to the target velocity V.sub.t and for controlling the track actuator so as to minimize the velocity error V.sub.e. The deceleration part decelerates the track actuator, and includes a circuit for deriving a deceleration time T based on the beam moving velocity V at a track which precedes the target track and supplying a deceleration pulse to the track actuator for the deceleration time T starting from a time when the light beam is a predetermined distance from the target track.
