CD player –An intro
• A compact disc (CD) is a optical storage device structured
as a thin, circular disc of metal and plastic about 12cm
(just over 4.5 inches) in diameter. Most of the CD is made
from a tough, brittle plastic called polycarbonate.
• It‘s made up of three layers sandwiched together, in the
middle there is a thin layer of aluminum.
• On top of the aluminum, is a protective layer of plastic
and lacquer.
• Information, be it analog (such as voice, still
images, video) or digital (e.g., text, computer files) can be
represented in binary format as a string of 0's and 1's.
• These binary strings can be stored on optical disks and
retrieved (for reproduction) using lasers and other
sophisticated opto-electronic instruments.
Audio CD player – History
• The technology behind CDs was invented in the late
1960s by James T. Russell.
• An avid music fan, he longed for a sound-recording
system that would reproduce music more exactly
than LP records and cassette tapes.
• He patented the first ever optical sound recording
system in 1970, refining it over the years that
followed.
• Audio CDs finally made their commercial debut in
Europe in 1982, launched by the Sony and Philips
electronics corporations, and appeared in the United
States.
