Abstract
The present invention provides an automatically identifying decode apparatus comprising a decoder unit 1 and a counter 2, wherein: PA1 the decoder unit 1 further comprises a plurality of decoders for decoding digital data of different digital-data types and a decoder selector for sequentially selecting the decoders; PA1 the counter 2 is used for sequentially advancing a process of selecting the decoders of the decoder unit; PA1 digital data read out from memory is supplied directly to the decoders of the decoder unit; PA1 one of the decoders successfully decoding the digital data outputs decoded data; and PA1 a selected decoder failing to decode the digital data transmits an error signal to the counter 2, requesting the counter 2 to advance the process of selecting the decoders by one decoder.
