	A Fundamental Introduction to the Compact Disc Player
		However, as pervasive as the compact disc player's presence is, the beauty and complexity of its design and operation are underappreciated by most users.
		As staggering as the release of the compact disc player was in 1982, the technology and theories which allowed it to be born were long in development.
		Regardless of the compact disc's lifetime, it is certain that digital audio will remain, and analog will be reserved to the role of input at the microphone in the studio and output at the speaker in the listening environment.

	Compact Disc Player - Background, Raw Materials, Design, The Manufacturing, Quality Control
		A compact disc player is a device that reads the recorded data by means of an optical beam and accurately reproduces the original information (music, pictures, or data).
		There are basically three subassemblies in a compact disc player: the disc drive mechanism assembly; the optical pick-up assembly; and the electronic circuit board assembly, which coordinates the other systems inside the player and which includes the servo mechanism and data decoding circuitry.
		As previously noted, a compact disc player is a very sophisticated device, and strict quality control measures are adopted from the initial to the final stage of the manufacture to ensure the proper functioning of the player in accordance with industry standards.

	Audio Compact Disc Player
		The signal from a compact disc is relatively insensitive to the presence of small defects such as dust or fine scratches on the bottom surface of the CD because the laser beam is fairly large at that point, about 0.8 mm.
		The data on the disc are formatted in frames which contain 408 bits of audio data and another 180 bits of data which include parity and sync bits and a subcode.
		The pits which encode the digital data on a compact disc are tracked by a laser.

	Compact disc player Summary
		In a compact disc player, a small laser beam shines upon the peaks and valleys on the metalized portion of the disc while the disc spins.
		They were intended to be the compact disc equivalent of Sony's walkman, and had early erasing and recording technology, but remained an anomaly through 1998.
		CD players can be found in home stereo systems, car audio systems and personal computers, and are also available as portable devices.

	Stereophile: Sony CDP-101 Compact Disc Player
		Our long-awaited laser-audio disc player (usually called the CD, for "Compact Disc") finally arrived, along with a real bonanza of software: two discs—a Polygram classical sampler of material from Decca, Deutsche Grammophon and Philips, and a Japanese CBS recording of Bruckner's 4th Symphony, with Kubelik.
		That unit was deep and had a square front, played the disc on edge, parallel to the front, and had a minimum of controls.
		The remote control uses a modulated infrared carrier to communicate with the main player but, unlike some such (the B&O remote, for example), this one is like a typical television remote in that it must be aimed directly at the main unit in order to communicate with it.

	Audio Compact Disc Player
		The tracks on a compact disc are nominally spaced by 1.6 micrometers, close enough that they are able to separate reflected light into it's component colors like a diffraction grating.
		The detection of the binary data stored in the form of pits on the compact disc is done with the use of a semiconductor laser.
		The laser is focused to a diameter of about 0.8 mm at the bottom of the disc, but is further focused to about 1.7 micrometers as it passes through the clear plastic substrate to strike the reflective layer.

	The Compact Disc. How does it work?
		For the HiFi dealer and the consumer, the compact disc player is the first piece of equipment to which the term "digital" may be applied correctly and fully.
		Music is recorded on compact disc with 16 bits, so it may seem impossible to play the music back more accurately than with a 16-bit CD player.
		As a CD player reads information from the disc, the information is converted from its digital form ("1's" and "0's") to its analogue form (a series of electrical current values).

	Compact Disc - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Compact Disc reached the market in late 1982 in Asia and early the following year in other markets; for example, it was released in the United States in March, the first CDs available being 16 Japanese-made titles from CBS/Sony.
		This in turn is decoded by reversing the Eight-to-Fourteen Modulation used in mastering the disc, and then reversing the Cross-Interleaved Reed-Solomon Coding, finally revealing the raw data stored on the disc.
		Even higher capacities on non-standard discs (up to 99 minutes) are available at least as recordables, but generally the tighter the tracks are squeezed the worse the compatibility.

	NAD C521i Compact Disc Player reviewed on AudioRevolution.com
		It’s a slim standard-width (17 inches) unit with a single disc drawer-loading transport, a backlit LCD display (which, during the day, is a little less visible than I would like) and no more than eight buttons: play/pause, stop, random, open/close, time and repeat, plus two rocker buttons for previous/next track and scan.
		The display came alive and inserting a disc showed a “calendar” display of the type common on Sony players, showing the number of tracks on the disc and flashing the one currently playing.
		The backlit LCD display is not as bright as the majority of components, and it is a little difficult to see in normal daylight, although this is not a problem in subdued lighting.

	StereoTimes -- Sony SCD-777ES Super Audio Compact Disc Player
		Although the 777ES is supposed to run cool, both the disc chamber and the metal exterior of the unit become slightly warm after being left on for over 12 hours.
		Consequently, tonality of sounds, localization of music players and 3-dimensionality of the event are all reproduced with breathtaking precision.
		In the foreseeable future, the Compact Disc will most likely continue its reign as the primary music media, and music lovers and audiophiles alike have no choice but to observe the SACD situation passively while increasing their investment into the CD.

		The disc housing is treated with an anti-vibration coating.
