Abstract
An error correcting apparatus including a circuit for detecting error correcting modes of incoming digital information, a generator for generating a first set of syndromes for a first error correcting mode when the incoming digital information is detected as the first error correcting mode, a generator for generating a second set of syndromes for a second error correcting mode when the incoming digital information is detected as the second error correcting mode, a generator for generating quasi-syndromes for the second error correcting mode by adding an additional syndrome to the syndromes for the first error correcting mode when the incoming digital information is detected as the first error correcting mode, and an error correction circuit for applying an error correcting process to the incoming digital information based on the generated syndromes for the second error correcting mode in spite of the error correcting modes of the incoming digital information.
