An MPEG audio/video decoder has memories, a signal processing unit (SPU) including a multiplier and a butterfly unit, a main CPU, and a memory controller which are time division multiplexed between decoding video and audio data. For audio decoding, the butterfly unit determines combinations of components of a frequency-domain vector to reduce the number of multiplies required to transform to the time domain (matrixing). Matrixing is interwoven with MPEG filtering to increases throughput of the decoder by increasing parallel use of the multiplier, the butterfly unit, and a memory controller. The decoder includes a degrouping circuit which performs two divisions in three clock cycles to degroup a subband code. Three cycles matches the write time of three components so that subband codes are degrouped and written to memory with a minimum delay. Performing two divides in three clock cycles allows the divider to be smaller. In response to an error signal from a source of an MPEG audio data stream, the decoder replaces data with an error code and temporarily enables error handling. The error code is a valid bit combination rarely found in MPEG audio data frames. During audio decoding with error handling enabled, the decoder checks for the error code and replaces the error code with reconstructed data. Typically, some subband data are replaced with zeros so that an error only changes some of the frequency components.
