ABSTRACT:
The track access control system of an optical disk drives moves the beam emitted from an optical head on the target track designated by a read instruction or write instruction issued from a host controller. The track access control system controls the head position and moving speed. With this invention, the head is controlled by generating a target tracking error signal and comparing it with an actual tracking error signal. The difference between the two signals is used to move the head in the desired manner.
