For those of you who get very uncomfortable listening to a new recording technique without understanding all the nitty-gritty technical details, I've come across the following journal articles: "Video Recording and Playback Systems-Beta Hi-Fi VCR", Kono et al, IEEE Transactions on Consumer Electronics, Vol CE-29, No. 3, August 1983, p. 141. Compact Disc Digital Audio (Special issue), Philips Technical Review, Volume 40, 1982, No. 6. 31 pages of quite detailed system design information; contains four articles: "The Compact Disc Digital Audio System" (overview) "Compact Disc: system aspects and modulation" "Error correction and concealment in the Compact Disc system" "Digital-to-analog conversion in playing a Compact Disc" Enjoy. I think it will take you a while to absorb all this information; I certainly am! Phil
