Abstract
Abstract In an information signal processing arrangement, an information signal, to which an error detecting code has been added and a part of which other than the error detecting code has been set to a code indicating a predetermined value, is received. Error detection capability is increased by detecting an error in the information signal according to the error detecting code added to the received information signal, and detecting whether or not the part of the information signal set to the predetermined value has changed.
