    (b) if said device debut mode has been selected, checking at said transmitting section each block of digital data to be transmitted for the presence of error;

    (c) transmitting to said receiving section blocks of data for which no error has been detected;

    (d) if an error is detected, indicating to an operator an identification of the block containing the error;

    (e) making a determination as to whether the block containing the error should be transmitted despite the error;

    (f) if it is determined in step (e) to transmit said block containing the error, transmitting said block containing the error to said receiving section and then proceeding to step (g), otherwise proceeding to step (e) without transmitting said block of data containing the error;
