The amplitude and pulse width of isolated read signal from AC-biased digital magnetic recording were examined and the results were compared to the behavior of medium residual flux. The combination of write signal and ac-bias current level (I_w, I_b) divides write operation range of magnetization into three regions : initial magnetization, over-bias demagnetization and over saturation regon. In initial magnetization and over saturation region, amplitude and pulse width of isolated read signal are both determined by the sum of I_w and I_b
