A method and apparatus for Viterbi detection to detect a code sequence containing a sync word, from an output sequence on a transmission path, by using a trellis detection that has a time-variant structure. The apparatus comprising a base counter for measuring time during the trellis detection, a comparator for comparing the time when the sync word is detected and outputting a coincidence/non-coincidence signal, and a selector for selecting either an output of an ACS (Add Compare Select) circuit or a predetermined initial metric value. The likelihood of a state in which the sync word starts or ends in the trellis detection is initialized only if the time the sync word is detected does not coincide with a time extrapolated before the sync word is detected.
