The vibration quantity measuring apparatus includes an error gain adjusting unit which adjusts an amplitude of a focus and tracking error which occurs where a disc rotates, so as to maintain the amplitude of the focus and tracking error constant, a loop gain adjusting unit which compares a closed loop phase of a focus and tracking loop and a predetermined reference closed loop phase, and maintains a constant gain of the focus and tracking loop to compensate for a gain difference of an actuator, and a measuring unit which calculates and outputs a vibration quantity using an error adjusted by the error gain adjusting unit and the loop gain adjusting unit, and an output of a controller which controls a focus and tracking of the disc. According to the methods and apparatus, a focus and tracking vibration quantity that occur differently depending on the type of a disc, on which data is recorded on or read from, or depending on a speed factor of a disc drive, can be measured.

A servo controlling apparatus of an optical disk drive and a control method thereof are provided for achieving precise control by automatically controlling the gain of error signals caused by the difference in the amount of light irradiated during recording and reproducing, and then using the automatically gain-controlled signal. In a first control step, a focus error signal and a tracking error signal generated from a photodetecting portion via an operator are multiplied by a predetermined value in different multipliers, and then each obtained value is divided by an RF sum signal to control the value of error to within a predetermined target value. In a second control step, each multiplied focus error signal and tracking error signal are divided by a DC signal corresponding to the average level of the RF sum signal when the error value reaches the target value.

An automatic power control (APC) apparatus reducing time necessary for stabilizing an APC circuit at the initial stage of automatic power control of a disc drive is provided. The APC circuit is designed such that a voltage of a predetermined percent of an expected output voltage is previously added to an APC output voltage of the APC circuit of a laser diode, thereby greatly reducing a stabilizing time necessary for stabilizing an APC output voltage at an initial stage in a write or read mode. Therefore, the loss of data in a high speed write or read mode can be reduced. Particularly, the loss of data in a high speed write mode can be greatly reduced.

An apparatus for changing a recording speed of an optical recording medium by analyzing wobble signals in real time during a recording operation, includes a signal process unit which outputs a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) signal that checks for a generation of errors on the optical recording medium from absolute time in pregroove (ATIP) information output from the optical recording medium during the recording operation, and a speed control unit which changes the recording speed during the recording operation according to a comparison of the CRC signal output from the signal process unit with a reference value. In the apparatus, the recording speed is limited or lowered in response to a signal quality of a recording section being less than an acceptable level during the recording operation. Accordingly, buffer under run and defects of read-in start position and seek fail, which are generated during a ZCLV operation, are prevented. In addition, the apparatus detects errors in characteristics of wobble signals from low quality media, and changes the recording speed to improve the recording quality and readability of such discs after the recording operation.
