OPTICAL DISC PLAYER ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE In an optical disc player for optically reading information recorded in substantially parallel tracks on the surface of a rotated record disc, an optical pick-up device includes an objective lens through which a light beam is to be focused at the surface of the record disc for forming an optical pick-up stylus, and such device is shiftable, as a unit, in a radial direction of the record disc for determining the track to be scanned by the optical pick-up stylus, a focusing servo control is responsive to defocusing of the light beam at the record disc surface for moving the objective lens in the direction to restore correct focus of the light beam at the record disc surface, and a gain control is provided for reducing the gain with which the focusing servo control responds to defocusing when the optical pick-up stylus moves transversely across a plurality of the tracks on the record disc, for example, in the searching or random access mode of operation of the player, whereby to reduce vibratory movements of the objective lens and an undesirably harsh noise that would otherwise result from the defocusing incident to relatively rapid transverse movement of the optical pick-up stylus across a number of the tracks.
