Abstract
An information reproduction apparatus uses a block storer to store blocks read by a reproduction head tip, and uses an error detector to detect errors in the blocks. The information reproduction apparatus also uses an information corrector to perform information correction, and a multiblock simultaneous reproducer to reduce block restoration time. The information reproduction apparatus uses an output timing adjuster to output information units at a predetermined cycle and in a predetermined order, whereby original information is restored.
