Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Sony is one of the forerunners in this field, and co-inventor of the compact disc digital audio system. The book has been produced using all the resources and expertise of the Sony Service Centre (Europe). Digital Audio and Compact Disc technology is the best book at the price on CD players and technology. It is essential reading for audio engineers, students and hi-fi enthusiasts and offers a clear and easy to follow introduction to the subject. This latest edition now includesa technical description of DAT, the `Scoopman' (stamp size DAT format, MiniDisc and the Digital Compct Cassette format. It also covers the Serial Copy Management System (SCMS) and the Digital Interface format (S/PDIF - IEC 958).

Includes index.
