ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a seek control method in an optical storage device, of seek-moving a light beam of an optical head from a certain track on an optical storage medium to a desired track. This seek control method comprises a step of calculating a target position, a step of detecting a present position from a track error signal indicating a relative position between the light beam and the track, a step of calculating such a feedback control quantity as to zeroize an error between the target position and the present position and a step of controlling a moving mechanism for moving the light beam in accordance with the feedback control quantity. The present position detecting step includes a first present position detecting step of detecting the present position from a signal into which the track error signal is D/A-converted when a velocity of the light beam is low and a second present position detecting step of detecting the present position from a count value obtained by counting track zero-cross signals acquired by slicing the track error signal at a zero level when the velocity of the light beam is high.
