Disclosed herein is an error correcting apparatus for receiving a signal subjected to a repetition processing in which a part of bits of an error-correction code train are repeatedly transmitted, and decoding the received signal so as to be restored to the original data. A repetition rate calculator calculates the repetition rate of the received signal subjected to the repetition processing, a soft decision data cut-off position decision unit decides the position at which a part of the soft decision data is cut off from the soft decision data which is generated by the repetition regenerator, on the basis of the repetition rate Rr, and a bit selector cuts off the part of the soft decision data at the decided cut-off position and inputs the cut part into a soft decision error-correction decoder.
