Abstract

An optical disc apparatus for recording information and/or reproducing on an optical disc which has at least two recording layers including layer 0 and layer 1 reproducible from one side of the disc. The apparatus includes an optical pickup having a laser source, an objective lens, and an actuator. A controller is provided which obtains a present layer information of a sector recording layer from light reflected from the disc, confirms a target layer information of a target recording layer, judges whether the present layer information is the same as the target layer information, and outputs a first control signal to the actuator when it is judged that the present layer information is layer 0 and the target layer information is layer 1, and outputs a second control signal to a slider.
