Abstract

In a data demodulating method, predetermined input data is based upon a response characteristic of the partial response class 4. The predetermined input data is discrete-filtered to thereby produce filtered asymmetrical data. The filtered asymmetrical data is maximum-likelihood-decoded to thereby produce decoded data that is demodulated. Further, a magnetic recording/reproducing apparatus is arranged by using this data demodulating method.
