16. A method of reproducing transmitted information according to claim 11, further comprising, following the second-mentioned step of correcting, the step of delaying at least certain ones of the corrected digital data words by an amount different from any delay imparted to the remaining words, thereby compensating for a corresponding delay imparted to the words of the digital data prior to transmission.
