Abstract

Digital signal sequences to be recorded in predetermined unitary recording areas are transformed into blocks, a plurality of bit data carrying all digit levels to be read and determined upon reproduction are included in the resultant blocks, and sequences of the data blocks are recorded in the recording medium in the unitary recording areas. Upon reproduction, the blocks of the read signals obtained from a recording medium are recognized, a threshold value is determined for each block on the basis of the values of read signals corresponding to bit data carrying all digit levels to be read and determined, and each digit level of bit data in the read signal are read and determined on the basis of the threshold values.
