METHOD AND DEVICE FOR REPRODUCING DATA

摘要

Data are recorded on an optical disk (1) by adding double parities of internal and external parities to the data. The internal parity is added to interleaved data and used for the correction of internal codes, and the external parity is added to non-interleaved data and the internal parity and used for the correction of the external codes. Reproduced data from the disk (1) are supplied to and stored in a ring buffer memory (5) and, at the same time, supplied to an error correction circuit (71) which corrects the errors in the external codes. The correction results are supplied to the memory (5) and overwritten therein. The data stored in the memory (5) are again read out to the circuit (71) and the errors in the internal codes are corrected. For sector address detection by a sector detection circuit (72), the data of which the errors of the external codes are corrected are used. In special reproduction, only the external code correction is performed.
