A data reception apparatus connected to a data transmission apparatus via transmission paths includes: error detection circuits that are each provided for each of the transmission paths and that each detect an error in received data that has been received from the data transmission apparatus; storage circuits that are each provided for each of the transmission paths and that each store the received data and read the received data at a reported read position at a reported read timing; a selection circuit that selects one of the transmission paths according to error detection results provided by the error detection circuits; and a report circuit that compares received data stored by a storage circuit corresponding to a selected transmission path with received data stored by each of other storage circuits and, according to a comparison result, reports the read timing and the read position to each of the storage circuits.
