An optical disc apparatus including means for calculating a spherical aberration correction quantity of an object lens, reproduced information signal generation means and spherical aberration correction means conducts spherical aberration correction, finds a spherical aberration correction quantity suitable for another layer by calculation on the basis of the obtained spherical aberration correction quantity, and sets the correction quantity as an initial correction quantity of spherical aberration correction. An optical disc apparatus including tilt correction quantity calculation means, reproduced information signal generation means and tilt adjustment means conducts tilt adjustment, finds a tilt correction quantity suitable for another layer by calculation on the basis of the obtained tilt correction quantity, and sets the correction quantity as an initial correction quantity of tilt adjustment.
