Abstract

An error correction device for an optical disk reproduction unit for reproducing recorded information from an optical disk recorded with a code row data added with an error code in the same direction as a sequence of recorded information in the recording portion of the optical disk, and recorded guide information recorded in an inerasable state as a guide for recording the code row data before the code row data is recorded, wherein a prepit decoder as a first position detection portion is configured to detect a physical configurational singular point in the recorded guide information as a first position, a second position generating portion is configured to generate a second position replacing the first position detected by the prepit decoder with the code row data position, and an error correction circuit is configured to erase-correct error in the code row data using the second position.
