Abstract

A data transmission system for transmitting information data with a parity of an error correcting code for correcting an error in the information data. A read-out controller controls a transmitter to transmit information data and a parity so that each data component of the information data obtained by dividing the information data of one data block area into a plurality of data components and each parity component of the parity obtained by dividing the parity of one block area into a plurality of parity components are transmitted at intervals of each sector having a sector address. The sector is defined as an data area obtained by dividing one data block area of a predetermined data amount into a plurality of sectors each having an identical data amount.
