ABSTRACT:
In an apparatus for detecting an abnormality of an optical system in a reproducing and recording apparatus of an optical recording medium and executing a driving control of a laser diode, detection of abnormality is performed with the optical system set into a de-focusing state. The apparatus has control device for comparing a level of a first detection signal having the level according to the level of first light beam which is led to the optical recording medium and a level of a second detection signal having the level of the second light beam, thereby controlling a driving current. The control device turns off a loop switch of a focusing servo loop of an objective lens, thereby setting the lens into a de-focusing mode, compares the levels of the first and second detection signals after the de-focusing state of the lens by the actuator is obtained, to discriminates whether a ratio of those levels lies within a predetermined range or not; and shuts off the driving current when it is determined that the ratio is out of the predetermined range.
