Abstract: A digital modulation apparatus capable of generating a modulated code so that binary slice is correctly performed when reproducing is provided. To achieve this, in a digital modulation apparatus (10A), a DSV change amount calculator (15) calculates change amounts (?DSVa, ?DSVb) in DSVs of candidate modulated codes (CODEa, CODEb) generated by a modulated code generator (11). A modulated code determinator (13) compares the change amounts (?DSVa, ?DSVb), and determines that the candidate modulated code having a smaller absolute value should be selected as a modulated code (CODE). A modulated code selector (14) selects one of the candidate modulated codes (CODEa, CODEb) which is determined by the modulated code determinator (13), and outputs the selected code as a modulated code (CODE) for source data (DATA).

Abstract: In an error detection method of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, target code strings which are inputted in a discontinuous arrangement are subjected to a syndrome operation, and simultaneously, the target code strings which are inputted in a discontinuous arranged are subjected to a first error detection code operation while correcting the inter-data continuity by skipping the data so that the arrangement of the code strings have continuity. Then, error data positions and error data numerical values of the target code strings are calculated on the basis of a syndrome obtained in the syndrome operation, and only the error data position among the target code strings are subjected to a second error detection code operation again on the basis of the error data positions and the error data numerical values.
