A readout controlling device includes a start time recording portion, a transmission controlling portion, an error determining portion, and a time changing portion. A start time of when a piece of information is read out from a storage device connected to the readout controlling device is recorded in the start time recording portion. The transmission controlling portion transmits a readout request to read out the piece of information, toward the storage device based on the start time. The error determining portion receives the piece of information readout from the storage device, and determines whether or not an error has occurred in the piece of information. If the error has been determined to have occurred, the time changing portion can change the start time recorded in the start time recording portion.
