Servo control apparatus, servo control method and information reproducing apparatus

摘要

A servo control apparatus for carrying out a servo control when information is reproduced from an information record medium (1) having an embossed area (EA) where information cannot be recorded, such as DVD-RW (1), is provided. The servo control apparatus (9) detects a position of a light spot formed by the light beam (B) in one side of the embossed area on the information record medium (1), and shifts the light spot beyond the embossed area (EA) to a predetermined target position to be radiated with the light beam (B), which is positioned in another side of the embossed area (EA) on the information record medium, on the basis of the detected position.
