The present invention provides a data regenerating apparatus that enables an accurate data decoding process while keeping the degradation of the transfer rate of the apparatus down to a minimum. Specifically, the data regenerating apparatus that generates decoded data by performing a decoding process on a readout signal from a storage medium according to an iterative decoding technique corresponding to a turbo coding technique, and regenerates recorded data by performing a predetermined error correction process on the decoded data, has an error state detector configured to detect an error state of the decoded data; a first determination unit configured to determine whether or not the error state of the decoded data detected by the error state detector is correctable in the predetermined error correction process; and, a decoding controller configured to stop the decoding process when it is determined by the first determination unit that the error state of the decoded data is correctable in the predetermined error correction process.
