The partial response and maximum likelihood (PRML) signal processing method is effective for fabricating high-density optical disks because it allows inter-symbol interference in decoding. However, some deterioration factors, namely impulse response fluctuations and signal level fluctuations, still exist even though PRML signal processing is adopted. A combined adaptive controlled PRML signal processing method is proposed to surmount the problem of these two deterioration factors simultaneously. The key points of the combined adaptive controlled PRML signal processing are that the gain of the Viterbi decoder is unity and the expected signal takes into account the reference levels controlled in the adaptive controlled Viterbi decoder. The effectiveness of such processing is confirmed using simulated reproduced signals and actual reproduced signals. The characteristics in terms of the tangential tilt of the disk and the signal asymmetry are ameliorated by adopting the combined adaptive controlled PRML signal processing method.
