More Information
Summary:A recording and reproducing apparatus is provided, which includes a rotary drive unit, an optical pickup unit, an adjustment unit which compensates for changes in characteristics of the laser light caused by changes in temperature, a temperature detection unit which detects a temperature of the optical pickup unit, an evaluation value generation unit which generates an evaluation value based on reflected light information, and a control unit. The control unit performs a temperature acquisition process, an optimum point adjustment process, a temperature acquisition process for acquiring a detected temperature during spin down, an optimum point search process, and a temperature characteristic compensation operation coefficient calculation process for performing temperature compensation with respect to the adjustment values.
