Abstract

A data recording and reproducing system adds a first error correcting code to input data to generate a first code block, encodes the first code block with a second error correcting code to generate a second code block, interleaves the second code block to generate a recording block, and records and reproduces the recording block via a partial response channel including a recording medium. An output signal from the partial response channel, and thus the second code block, is decoded; the decoded data and the reliability of the decoded data is determined, based on likelihood information obtained during iterative decoding; and the first error correcting code is decoded. The decoded data and the reliability information are supplied to the first error correcting code decoder.
