Abstract
Abstract A record disc producing apparatus, which can be used for searching a desired track location rapidly, includes a pick-up device (11) for reading data from the disc and movable in a radial direction with respect to the disc and a driver (16) for driving the pick-up device (11) radially with respect to the disc. The moving velocity of the pick-up device (11) is detected and used to produce a velocity signal corresponding to the moving velocity. A kick signal is generated to energize the driver (16). The kick signal is controlled so that the velocity signal approaches a predetermined value.
