Apparatus for decoding an input digital signal by replacing successive n-bit groups of the input digital signal with respective ones from an ensemble of m-bit data words, each m-bit data word having an associated n-bit code word, where n is greater than m, comprises: means for determining the Hamming distance between an n-bit group of the input digital signal and each of the n-bit code words associated with the ensemble of m-bit data words; and means for replacing that n-bit group of the input digital signal with an m-bit data word from the ensemble of m-bit data words for which the Hamming distance between the n-bit code word associated with that m-bit data word and that n-bit group is the lowest.
