A recording and reproducing apparatus having an error correction function ECC-less, includes a erasure detector generating an erasure flag indicating disappearance of a read signal; and an iterative decoder having two soft-in/soft-out (SISO) decoders, i.e., an inner decoder and an outer decoder, and correcting the erasure by inputting the erasure flag ek into the inner decoder 84 and performing erasure compensation in the inner decoder. As the erasure compensation in the inner decoder, channel information is masked while the erasure flag is on. The erasure of data due to a media defect is detected inside the iterative decoder, and the second erasure flag is inputted into the inner decoder to perform erasure compensation in the inner decoder.
