<p>A detector circuit assigns binary values to a series of sample values (ak) taken periodically from a waveform representing a binary pattern of marks on a record carrier, the pattern of marks nominally having a minimum run length of more than one sampling period (T). The detector comprises means (96) for determining whether the pattern is subject to a first or a second type of systematic error which causes the marks on the record carrier to be systematically too short or too long respectively. The detector further comprises means (81,83) for combining a plurality of successive sample values (ak-1, ak, ak+1) including a given sample value ak to generate a combined sample value or values (ak-1 + ak, ak + ak+1), means (85) for comparing the or each combined sample value with a threshold value (u min /u sec ) and means (87,94,97) responsive to the result(s) of one or more such comparisons, for assigning a binary value (Ak min ) to the given sample in a manner dependent on which type of systematic error is present. The detector may be included in an optical disc player.</p> |
