ABSTRACT:
A magneto-optical recording apparatus capable of maintaining decoding performance even if the recording density at the magneto-optical recording is high. The magneto-optical recording apparatus comprises a modulator for RLL (Run-Length Limited) encoding recording data, an NRZI encoder for NRZI-encoding a RLL code from the modulator, an equalizer for equalizing a read-out analog signal obtained from a magneto-optical recording medium into a waveform (1+D).sup.n (n is a positive integer) assuming that the delay time for one bit period of the read-out signal is D, a low pass filter, and a Viterbi decoder that uses the difference between a sample value obtained by quantizing an output from the low pass filter and an expected value obtained from a theoretical value of a data column to make the most probable path to be decoding data.
