Patent number: 7315499Abstract: An optical disk apparatus includes a tilt detection unit detecting the tilt value of an optical disk medium with respect to an optical system. A tilt compensation unit compensates for the tilt of the optical disk medium by adjusting a relative angle between the optical system and the optical disk medium according to the tilt value detected by the tilt detection unit. A tilt detection error estimation unit estimates tilt detection error of the tilt detection unit with respect to a radial position of the optical disk medium at which information is recorded/reproduced by the optical systems by referring to tilt values that are previously detected at a plurality of radial positions of the optical disk medium by the tilt detection unit. The tilt compensation unit has a correction unit that corrects the tilt value according to the tilt detection error estimated by the tilt detection error estimation unit.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 2003Date of Patent: January 1, 2008Assignee: Ricoh Company, Ltd.Inventors: Masafumi Kimura, Susumu Katagiri, Toshihiro Yamashiro
