An optical disc apparatus for reproducing information recorded on a track of an optical disc, the optical disc apparatus comprising:
- an optical head that irradiates a light beam onto the track, detects a reflected light reflected by the track, and generates a reproduction signal based on the reflected light;
- a decoder circuit that decodes the reproduction signal, and generates a decoded signal including information recorded on the track;
- a correlation detector circuit that calculates a cross-correlation value between the reproduction signal and the decoded signal;
- and
- a servo circuit that detects a deviation amount of an irradiation position of the light beam onto the track, from the reproduction signal, and controls the irradiation position of the optical head based on the cross-correlation value and the deviation amount.
