Abstract
Methods, apparatuses, and systems describing digital techniques to decode signals extracted from computer-readable storage media include, in at least some implementations, a method including receiving a digital signal representing at least a portion of an analog signal from a computer-readable storage medium, the analog signal including a repeatable runout (RRO) signal component, determining an estimate of a magnitude of at least a portion of the RRO signal component, and decoding the digital signal at least in part by configuring a gain target value based on the estimate of the magnitude. In some implementations, the method includes causing the gain target value to change from a predetermined default gain target value to the configured gain target value based on the estimate of the magnitude.
