An optical disk apparatus includes a rotary driving unit rotating an
optical disk which is flexible, an optical pickup irradiating light upon
a recording surface of the optical disk on which writing/reading of
information is performed, a stabilizing unit stabilizing vibration of the
optical disk in a rotary axial direction by using pressure difference of
air flow at least on a portion where writing/reading is performed, and
being disposed on a side of the optical disk opposite to a side on which
the recording surface is provided, and a control-adjustment unit
analyzing a value of a tracking error signal of the optical disk obtained
by scanning along a groove of the optical disk with use of the optical
pickup, comparing the analyzed value of the tracking error signal of the
optical disk and a value priorly obtained by scanning along a groove of a
standard disk prepared beforehand, and adjusting a positional relation
between the optical disk and the stabilizing member in a three
dimensional space according to the result of the comparison.
