Abstract: A low pass filter unit generates a slice level for digitizing the signal based on the track state from the signal. When a tracking servo is in invalid state, a sample hold unit holds a slice level sampled at a predetermined timing. A comparison unit compares the signal based on the track state to the slice level and generates a mirror signal. When the tracking servo becomes in an invalid from valid state, the low pass filter unit uses the slice level held in the sample hold unit.
