An information reproducing device for reproducing digital signals with an optical head from an optical disk includes a first equalizer for waveform-equalizing a reproduction signal, an adaptive learning device for renewing the equalization properties of the first waveform equalizer with an adaptation algorithm, a memory for storing a reproduction signal, a second waveform equalizer that reads signals from the memory and performs waveform equalization after an adaptive learning operation for the first waveform equalizer has been terminated, and a demodulator for demodulating the output of the second waveform equalizer. Thus, adaptive equalization processing can be performed with constantly superior equalization properties and without sacrificing data capacity.

An optical disk includes at least one region along a radial direction, and a plurality of tracks provided in the at least one region. The at least one region contains address regions radially positioned on the plurality of tracks. In the address regions, data which is common between two adjacent tracks of the plurality of tracks is recorded at positions aligned along the same radial direction on the two adjacent tracks, and data which is not common between the two adjacent tracks is recorded at positions along different radial directions on the two adjacent tracks.

An optical head includes: a light source; a photodetector for generating a prescribed signal based on light which the photodetector receives; a converging optical system for converging a light beam emitted from the light source to be incident upon a prescribed reflective member; and a reproducing optical system for guiding reflected light from the prescribed reflective member to the photodetector. The reproducing optical system is configured for converging light on a prescribed converging point, and a filter having a light transmissive region for allowing light in the vicinity of a center of the converged light to selectively pass therethrough is provided in the vicinity of the converging point. The light transmissive region of the filter is formed by light which has passed through at least a part of the reproducing optical system and has been converged.

A modulated magnetic field generation circuit is used in a disk recording apparatus which can overwrite data on a magneto-optical disk. The modulated magnetic field generation circuit includes a first coil for applying the magnetic field modulated for recording to the magneto-optical disk, a second coil for storing the energy used to reverse the direction of the current flowing to the first coil, a current limiter for limiting the current flowing to the second coil, and switching elements for changing the direction of the current flowing to the second coil to the first coil. Thus, a high frequency modulated magnetic field is generated with low power consumption and low voltage.

A control device (211) inputs reliability information on the same data block a plurality of times into a reliability storage memory (202). A reliability generating device (201) generates anew reliability information by performing computation processing based on a stochastic computation by using reliability information generated in the previous cycle that has been saved in the reliability storage memory (202) and reliability information generated in the present cycle, and saves the reliability information generated anew in the reliability storage memory (202) when the decoding is performed by using reliability information on the data block same as that in the previous cycle. A column processing computation device (204) computes a column processing output value by using the reliability information generated anew and saved in the reliability storage memory (202) and a row processing output value.

The AV data recording apparatus divides an audio signal and a video signal into transport packets having a predetermined unit length, assembles a plurality of transport packets as one transport stream and executes recording. Accordingly, this invention enables managing whether a logical block is used or not, detecting a continuous data area comprising plural logical blocks that ensure realtime continuous reproduction, and determining logical block numbers of continuous data areas to be recorded. As a result, the transport stream is recorded continuously on a plurality of detected continuous data areas.
