ABSTRACT:
A disk apparatus has an equalizing unit which performs PR equalization for the read signal from the disk based on a plurality of tap coefficients, a decoding unit which performs a decoding process for the equalized read signal, a calculating unit which obtains an ideal signal of the decoded read signal, and compares the ideal signal with the decoded read signal, thereby calculating an error signal E, and a control unit which groups the tap coefficients into at least a first and second coefficient groups which are groups of tap coefficients at symmetrical locations each, and determines tap coefficients of the first coefficient group in a range of a first limit value K1according to the calculated error signal, determines tap coefficients of the second coefficient group in a range of a second limit value and supplies the determined tap coefficients to the equalizing unit.
