Abstract: A digital signal processing circuit in which a first correction signal generation circuit forms a first signal P for correction by a modulus 2 addition of m (a given integer) generation elements. These are picked out as a unit, without including same generation element each other, from a group S composed of a plurality of generation elements. Each of the latter is a digital signal of one sampling period among digital signals obtained by digital processing (pulse code modulation) an information signal with a specific sampling. A second correction signal generation circuit forms a second signal Q for correction by a modulus 2 addition of n (a given integer) generation elements which are picked out as a unit from the group S in such a manner that the generation elements thus picked out do not include the same generation element each other. The number of common essential elements of generation element of said first correction signal P is considered to be one (unity) or less.
