Optimizing focus point for optical disc

An apparatus comprising a focus controller, a photo-diode sensor, a data circuit, a focus error creation circuit and a focus offset circuit. The focus controller may be configured to control a lens in relation to a laser beam and allow the laser beam to focus on a disc. The photo-diode sensor may be configured to generate one or more photo-diode signals in response to the laser beam. The data circuit may be configured to generate one or more disc status signals in response to the one or more photo-diode signals. The focus error creation circuit may generate a focus error signal. The focus error signal may provide a first value based on a focus point of the laser beam. The focus offset circuit may be configured to offset the first value of the focus error signal to a second value in response to the disc status signals to allow the focus controller to move the lens to a position which will increase the focus point of the laser beam on the disc.
