Abstract: In an optical disc reproducing apparatus, when an amount of light received by an optical pick-up varies or leakage light enters a light receiving portion due to the tilt of the optical pick-up or the like, a tracking control signal generation circuit adds an offset in accordance with a control value outputted from a tracking actuator controller to an output of a tracking servo filter. As a result, a tracking servo pull-in operation is performed in a state where the optical pick-up is forcibly tilted. The direction in which the optical pick-up mentioned above is forcibly tilted is determined from the result of, e.g., measuring the duty ratio of a DPD off-track signal. Therefore, a reproduction signal, a focus error signal, and a tracking error signal are correctly generated without providing a tilt mechanism in the optical pick-up.
