Abstract

The present invention provides a magnetic disc apparatus comprising: a magnetic disc and a signal processor having functions of (i) setting measurement points at an interval which is smaller in the vicinity of an initial position of a window than in the vicinity of the maximum modification position; (ii) shifting the window from the initial position up to the maximum modification position; (iii) each time the window position is shifted according to the aforementioned interval, reproducing a check data recorded on the magnetic disc, so as to measure an error rate; and (iv) using the error rate measurement results so as to obtain an optimal position of the window.
