Abstract

See full text

A disc recording/reproducing apparatus includes a tracking servo system in which a recording/reproducing head is moved based upon a target position signal indicating its pre-set target position on a disc-shaped recording medium and in which the recording/reproducing head is controlled in its position by a driving unit which employs an output of a controller which is supplied with a position signal obtained by subtracting a deviation from a pre-set target position from the target position signal. The apparatus also includes an eccentricity data storage unit for storing eccentricity data indicating the tracking position of the recording/reproducing head which depends upon eccentricity of the disc-shaped recording medium. The eccentricity data from the eccentricity data storage unit is summed to the target position signal for controlling the position of the recording/reproducing head. In this manner, the current consumption when the recording/reproducing head is halted under a standby state on a pre-set track may be reduced.
