An optical disc drive according to the present invention can read and/or write data from/on an optical disc with information layers including first and second information layers (L0 and L1). The drive includes: an objective lens for converging a light beam; a lens actuator for driving the lens; a photodetector section that receives the beam reflected from the disc and converts it into an electrical signal; and a control section for determining the values of a first group of parameters, which are set to read data from the first layer (L0), and those of a second group of parameters, which are set to read data from the second layer (L1), during a disc loading process. In performing the disc loading process, the control section determines the values of the first group of parameters, and then determines the values of the second group of parameters based on correlation information, representing correlation between the values of the first and second groups of parameters that were set during a previous disc loading process, and on the values of the first group of parameters that have been just determined during the current disc loading process.
An optical disc drive with the ability to read and/or write data from/on an optical disc with multiple information layers including a first information layer and a second information layer, the drive comprising:
An optical disc having a plurality of information layers including a first information layer and a second information layer,
