The invention concerns an optical scanning device which scans the frequency-warbled data tracks of a recording medium, the scanning light beam being reflected from the recording medium on to a four-quadrant photodetector (PD) with four photodiodes (A, B, C, D). In order to be able to compensate automatically for offset voltages produced in the focussing-control loop by, for instance, temperature fluctuations, the focussing signal and the track error signal are input into a multiplier circuit (M). The multiplier output is fed through a low-pass filter (TP) and as a compensation voltage to the focussing-control loop.
