Abstract

An error correction circuit which includes a specification circuit for specifying erroneous portions in a first data set reproduced from a recording medium, a register for storing the reproduced first data set including the erroneous portions thus specified and a reproducing circuit responsive to the reproduced first data set for reproducing again the first data set from the recording medium to obtain retry data, when there exist erroneous portions in the reproduced first data set stored in the register. The correction circuit also includes a data replace circuit, connected to receive the retry data, for replacing information at the specified erroneous portions in the reproduced first data set stored in the register by information at corresponding portions in the retry data.
