ABSTRACT:
The optical disk apparatus is provided with a Viterbi decoder and an expected value correction circuit. The branch metric operation unit calculates first, second and third errors between sampling data and expected values, and outputs them to the expected value correction circuit. The expected value correction circuit extracts the sampling data in a region where its variation is small based on the first, second and third errors, calculates the average values of the extracted sampling data to correct the first, second and third expected values, and outputs the corrected expected values to the branch metric operation unit. The Viterbi decoder performs Viterbi decoding of the sampling data based on the first, second and third corrected expected values. Thus, high-precision Viterbi decoding is permitted even if the amplitude value of the reproduction signal varies.
