To celebrate its tenth birthday, Ken Pohlmann has completely updated his popular guide to CD technology--with new sections on the optical and electronic principles underlying the CD format as well as the latest details on new CD player designs.

For audio and multimedia enthusiasts, CD owners, recording engineers, and manufacturers, The Compact Disc Handbook remains the most comprehensive reference book on this technology.
