Abstract

A reproduction type optical disk having same sector structure as that of a recordable optical disk, can reproduce data even if a plurality of sectors are disabled from correction. The disk has data sectors for recording data, parity sectors obtained by a new error correction coding between a plurality of data sectors, wherein the error correction coding between the data sectors is performed by arranging a plurality of data sectors into a matrix and by coding them in directions of row and column doubly to make a product code.
