Abstract

A defect detection unit ( 5 ), a disc position detection unit ( 9 ), and a disc rotation speed detection unit ( 1 ) are in a disc control device which includes a repetition control device to control storing to and reading from a memory unit ( 3 ) functioning as a learning memory and for varying the number of memory divisions of the memory unit ( 3 ) on the basis of detection by the detection units. Components having periodicity apparently due to partial surface runout or partial eccentricity are stored in memory unit ( 3 ) by increasing the resolution and microscopic noise components, and noise components having no periodicity are not stored in memory unit ( 3 ). This system carries out stable focus tracking control even when disturbances such as device vibration or scratches on a disc are mixed.
