A virtual RAM read address generating circuit (41) generates a virtual address-on the basis of an output signal of a crystal oscillation circuit (36). A phase comparison circuit (39) which performs phase comparison with a write address, and a spindle control circuit (3) which controls rotation of a disk with reference to outputs of a frequency comparison circuit (38) and the phase comparison circuit (39) are disposed. Therefore, a phase error can be fed back to a spindle motor, thereby preventing linear velocity deviation from occurring in a steady state. By using the thus configured reproducing device, the reproduction quality in the case where a disk wherein recording was performed by the CLV system is reproduced by the variable linear velocity reproduction system is ensured, and both high-speed access and low power consumption are realized.
