ABSTRACT:
In order to focus light beams which are projected onto an optical recording medium, the focusing optical system is moved in a vertical direction to the surface of the recording medium. A focus error signal produced by receiving the light returning from the recording medium is compared in turn with a predetermined plurality of reference levels. A focus servo-means is operated when this signal reaches the reference level within the focus pull-in region after passing through a predetermined order of reference levels.
