Abstract
A system for reproducing data recorded on a magnetic recording medium at high density is provided as a simple configuration. Quadripartite reproduction data is output from a Viterbi detection circuit to an adder, which then subtracts the quadripartite reproduction data from a signal before PR4-ML method data determination. An adder is used to perform a (1+D) process for the result. An error signal pattern detection circuit performs maximum likelihood estimation for an PR4-ML method detection error. Further, when a detected determination error matches an actual reproduction data string, a data correction circuit corrects the reproduction data string.
