The optical disk player of the present invention is capable of controlling rotational
speed of an optical disk, on the basis of a shape of the optical disk, so as to
stably and efficiently write data in and read data from the optical disk. The optical
disk player comprises: a motor for rotating the optical disk; and an optical pickup
for irradiating a laser beam to the optical disk and receiving a reflected beam
reflected therefrom. A CPU analyzes signals included in the reflected beam so as
to recognize a shape of the optical disk. A servo processor controls rotational
speed of the optical disk on the basis of the shape of the optical disk recognized
by the CPU.
