摘要:
A servo error signal and a defect detection signal are generated from an output signal of the pickup unit, and a servo control signal and a hold signal are generated from the servo error signal. When changing to either a servo control signal or a hold signal based on the defect detection signal generated in a defect detection signal generation circuit which has a peak hold circuit having different tracking ability, so as to perform servo control of the pickup unit, a servo error signal predetermined time before a timing to change from the servo control signal to the hold signal is used as the servo error signal used for generation of the hold signal.
