Data read from a recording medium, such as a CD or DVD, is checked for errors and the errors are corrected in a fast and efficient manner. First, an error detection code (EDC) is appended to the data, which is arranged in matrix form, by performing a predetermined checking arithmetic operation. Then, a first checking operation is performed on the data using the EDC to generate a first sample value. The data is then error corrected in a first direction and a first correction value is generated if an error is detected. A second checking operation is performed in the first direction using the first correction value to generate a second sample value. The first and second sample values are compared and a first check value is generated. The data is then error corrected in a second direction and a second correction value is generated if an error is detected. A third checking operation is performed in the first direction using the second correction value to generate a third sample value. Finally, the first check value is compared with the third sample value to generate a second check value representative of the check result of the error correction in the second direction.
