Abstract: A method for measuring a tilt angle of a pickup head. The method includes the steps of: moving the pickup head to a track to be measured; radiating a laser beam with a constant power; defining a proper range of tilt control values; controlling the tilt angle of the pickup head according to the range of tilt control values, acquiring a RF signal corresponding to each tilt control value, and storing an associated value of a associated signal; detecting the maximum among the stored associated values; selecting and storing the tilt control value corresponding to the maximum as the optimum tilt control value for the track if there is a maximum; and modifying the range of tilt control values and executing the previous steps if there is no maximum. The so-called associated signal includes a tracking error signal, a reading/writing RF signal, an S-curve signal, or the RF signal.
