A data reproduction device for equalizing a reproduced digital signal. A
signal reproduced using a reproduction head is sequentially processed by
an analogue filter, an A/D, and an interpolator before being supplied to
a digital equalizer. The digital equalizer digitally equalizes an input
digital signal to output to a subsequent Viterbi decoder, or the like.
The digital equalizer comprises a variable BPF, and a variable FIR
filter, and the filtering characteristic is variably adjusted.
