A differential pulse-code modulation coder obtains an improved signal-to-noise ratio, with only a small increase in bit rate, by repetitive coding. In one aspect, the coder divides the input signal into frames, codes each frame repeatedly using different prediction coefficients or different quantizing step functions, and selects the coefficient or step function that produces the least quantization error. In another aspect, the coder repeats the coding of individual samples located in the outermost steps of the quantizing step function.
