ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for reproducing information includes a memory unit which stores charge; a reading unit which obtains an amount of the charge stored in the memory unit, and reads information by determining a value based on a comparison of the amount of the charge with a first threshold; an error detection unit which determines whether the information read has an error; and a threshold generation unit which generates a second threshold having a value different from that of the first threshold used in reading the information, when the error detection unit determines that the information has an error, wherein the reading unit further reads the information by determining a value based on a comparison of the amount of the charge with the second threshold after the error detection unit determines that the information has the error.
