Abstract
An optical disk device has reproduction signal detecting section, each of which detects a reproduction signal corresponding to a reflective wave of an optical disk, a first offset controller, which offsets the reproduction signal with a first offset value F1, an A/D converting circuit, which A/D converts the offset reproduction signal, and a second offset controller, which offsets the converted digital reproduction signal with a second offset value F2, and a decoder, which viterbi decodes the offset digital reproduction signal and outputs decoded data B. Because an offset is performed with each exclusive value to A/D conversion and viterbi decoding, it is possible to obtain high identification accuracy with nonlinear characteristic eliminated.
