Methods and apparatus for reproducing and decoding data recorded on a disk.

摘要

The invention relates to methods and apparatus for reproducing encoded data recorded on a disk (1) and decoding the reproduced encoded data. The data reproduced from the disk (1) in encoded form are stored in a buffer (5) and read from the buffer (5) for carrying out error correction. Once the data have been error-corrected, the error corrected encoded data are again stored in the buffer (5). Then the data are read from the buffer (5) for decoding.
