Applicable to a prerecorded optical reflective digital audio disc system. Describes those parameters of compact disc that affect interchangeability between discs and players. Intended as a reference for manufacturers wishing to produce discs and/or players that conform to the system described in this standard. Deals with discs of 80 mm in diameter as well as those of 120 mm in diameter.
