A method for counting a number of tracks of an optical disc in an optical
disc system. The optical disc system includes an optical pickup, a light
source, and a plurality of optical sensors. The method includes emitting
a light beam to the optical disc from the light source, detecting light
reflected from the optical disc by the optical sensors, and generating a
tracking error signal according to detected signals of the optical
sensors while the optical pickup moves along a radial direction of the
optical disc. The method further includes generating a tracking error
zero crossing signal according to the tracking error signal, generating a
peak detecting signal according to the tracking error signal, generating
a pseudo radio frequency zero crossing signal according to the peak
detecting signal, and generating a track count signal according to the
pseudo frequency crossing signal.
