Image deterioration in an image sensor is inhibited. A solid-state imaging device includes: a pixel array that photoelectrically converts received light and contains pixels arranged in a two-dimensionally arrayed manner, the pixels outputting analog signals; a conversion part that converts the analog signals outputted from the pixels to digital data; a coding part that generates one sign bit or a plurality of sign bits as to the digital data; a storage part that stores the digital data and the sign bit or sign bits; a decoding part that decodes the sign bit or sign bits as to the digital data stored in the storage part; a determination part that determines, on the basis of the decoded sign bit or sign bits, whether or not an error in writing or reading of the digital data in or from the storage part has occurred; and a signal processing part that processes the digital data read from the storage part on the basis of output of the determination part.

An MC-ONU is an ONU installed at a subscriber's home. The MC-ONU includes: a receiving unit which receives signals transmitted from an OLT at a telecommunications carrier site which has not established a link; a determining unit which determines the OLT, which has not established a link, to be a remote-end device in point-to-point communication on the condition that the signal received for a predetermined period of time is idle signal only; and a transmitting unit which starts transmitting signals to the OLT from the subscriber's home on the condition that it has been determined by the determining unit that the OLT is the remote-end device in point-to-point communication.
