An optical disc recording/playback apparatus is provided with a first AD
converter 35 for shaping a push-pull signal 14 detected from an optical
disc medium 1 by a light difference signal shaping circuit 21, and
converting the signal into a digital sampling signal 38 using a sampling
clock 37 synchronized with a channel frequency; a series of means for
detecting wobble amplitude information 77 during recording from the
digital sampling signal 38; a series of means for detecting address
polarity information 60 and address position information during playback;
and a recording laser power control circuit 113 for controlling a
recording laser power to a power suited for recording on the basis of the
wobble amplitude information.
