<p>A method for recording and/or reproducing a signal in which three regions consisting of a magnetization region (a) in which magnetization is effected in a certain direction, a magnetization region (b) in which magnetization is effected in the opposite direction to that of the former region and a random magnetization region (c) in which magnetization is effected randomly are arranged on a recording medium (5) and digital data are recorded in correspondence with the three regions (a, b, c). Upon reproduction, a calculation (11) is effected by using a reproduced signal and an isolated waveform information derived from the recording medium (5), thereby obtaining anticipated data whose most likelihood value is high, and this anticipated data is employed as detected data. Accordingly, a large reproduced output can be obtained in accordance with the change of magnetization, and freedom of the code itself can be increased, thereby improving the recording linear density as compared with the prior art.</p> |
