<p>Processing (such as recording and/or reproducing) apparatus is capable of processing first and second digital signals with the same processing device, even when the two digital signals have differing first and second data configurations, the first data configuration containing a greater amount of data than the second data configuration. Predetermined data is added (23) to the second digital signal so as to convert the second data configuration to the first data configuration. An error processor (4A), such as an error detection/correction generator or an error corrector, and capable of processing the first data configuration, selectively (21) receives either the first digital signal or the converted second digital signal, so as to carry out the same error processing operation on either one of the digital signals. The first digital signal may be a video signal, and the second digital signal may be an audio signal. <IMAGE></p> |
