Abstract
A method and an apparatus are provided for binarizing an input signal, which is capable of reliably correcting an offset of the input signal even when the input signal does not reach a reference level or has a single frequency, a disc driver and a recording medium. The binarizing method includes viterbi-decoding the input signal to obtain a viterbi-decoded signal; slicing the input signal based on a predetermined reference level to obtain a sliced signal; obtaining an offset of the input signal by low-pass filtering the viterbi-decoded signal or the sliced signal; and correcting the offset of the input signal based on the obtained offset. The viterbi-decoded signal is a binary signal of the input signal.
