AUDIO CD [AUDIO]

• The CD player/changer has been designed to play CDs bearing the identification logo, COMPACT DISC DIGITAL AUDIO, as shown. No other discs can be played on the CD player/changer other than MP3 applicable ones.

  

• The CD player/changer may not play the following types of CDs:

• Defective CDs (e.g., cracked, badly bent, rough edges, scratch, dirty CD condensation)

• 8 cm (3 in) CD accessories (e.g., 8 cm (3 in) disc adapter, sticker, label)

• Nonstandard CDs (e.g., Diameter/thickness is out of specification)

• Specification: 119.7—120.3 mm (4.668—4.692 in) of diameter, 12+0.3 or -0.1 mm (0.047+0.012 or 0.004 in) of thickness

• Do not use non-conventional discs. The CD player/changer could be damaged.

  Examples:

Outline of CD-R and CD-RW

• Definition

• CD-R: The CD-R is a non-rewritable version. Once a section of a CD-R is written, it cannot be erased or rewritten.

• CD-RW: The CD-RW is a re-writable version of CD-ROM and the data can be written an unlimited number of times.

• Since the reflected laser beam amount of a CD-R/RW is less than the reflected laser beam amount of the conventional CD media, the CD player/changer may not play the CD-R/RW or the sound may jump.

• Since the recording quality of the CD-R/RWs vary widely, some CD-R/RWs may not play.

Recording method

• There are two methods for recording.

• Classification by recorder

• Record the audio data in the audio-CD by audio recorder

• The price of the audio recorder and original audio-CD include the copyright fee.

• Record the audio data to a conventional data-CD using a personal computer

• The data-CD is cheaper than the audio-CD. But, there are lower quality CDs.

• Classification by audio data extraction/compression

• Extracted audio data

• The CD-R/RW player can play the extracted audio data.

• Compressed audio data

• It is possible to record a large quantity of music to a disc. The sound quality varies depending on the audio data compression format. The compressed audio data can be played on the applicable player only.
