Abstract
A data reproduction apparatus for an optical disc system is provided. Included is an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) for sampling an input RF signal and outputting the sampled result, an adder for adding the sampled signal and an asymmetry correction signal. The added signal is output. A blank/defect detector is provided for generating a blank detection signal if no change in data is detected from the added signal during a predetermined interval of time. A correction signal generator is provided for calculating a digital sum value (DSV) from the received added signal, generating an asymmetry correction signal based on the calculated DSV, and outputting the generated asymmetry correction signal to the adder. A waveform equalizer is provided for waveform-equalizing the added signal. A decoder is provided for decoding the waveform-equalized signal and outputting the result. The correction signal corrector temporarily stops a DSV calculation operation with respect to the interval of the corresponding added signal, if the blank detection signal is output. Thus, an asymmetry of the RF signal is corrected to enhance quality of the reproduced data.
