I'd sure like to read those tutorials on CD technology- how about
reposting them, eh? Thanks

I hereby temporarily end my self-imposed silence on this net (although 
obviously I continue to occasionally read the discussion) for a good cause,
to respond to a legitimate request for information.  Sorry that I 
didn't respond to your query sooner.

The definitive technical reference on how CD's are encoded as well as a great
deal of additional information on the Phillips method of compact disc playback,
(as opposed to the Sony method) is given in the Phillips Technical Review,
Vol 40, No 6.  This should be available in any technical library and answer all
your questions.  I have also mailed to you a copy of two earlier tutorial
postings that I placed on the net describing the encoding/decoding process as
well as considerations on the two filtering processes.  

If for some reason you fail to get my mail please let me know, I have had some
problem with the mail system lately.
