Abstract
A signal is reproduced from a recording medium. The reproduced signal is sampled in response to a clock signal to get a sampling-resultant signal. A transversal filter includes a delay line having taps and delaying the sampling-resultant signal, multipliers for multiplying only alternate ones among signals appearing at the taps by tap coefficients to get multiplication results, and an adder for adding the multiplication results into a filtering-resultant signal. A temporary decision device operates for calculating a temporary decision value of the filtering-resultant signal according to a temporary decision procedure, for calculating a difference between the temporary decision value of the filtering-resultant signal and an actual value thereof, and for generating an error signal in response to the calculated difference. The tap coefficients used in the transversal filter are controlled in response to the error signal and the reproduced signal to minimize the error signal.
