Abstract

A device receives a code train including information codes and first and second error correction codes which were provided by using the information codes, and then corrects code errors of the information codes. A first correcting circuit corrects code errors of the information codes in accordance with the first error correction check code, and a second correcting circuit corrects code errors of the information codes in accordance with the second error correction check code by deciding whether uncorrectable code errors are present or not in each predetermined number of information codes and generating flag information. The flag information is amended using the first error correction check code, and code errors of the information codes are concealed on the basis of the amended flag information.
