Disc
The possibility exists of making further recordings later. It would also be possible to
declare the disc as fully recorded. In which case, the definitive table of contents
(TOC) is written into the Lead-in.
A Cross-section: Fully Recorded CD-R or CD-RW Disc
The fully recorded CD-R or CD-RW disc has a program of 74 or 80 minutes playing
time, a lead-in area with table of contents and a lead-out area.
•
The areas specific to the CD recorder, the PCA and PMA, are still present but
are simply not used by conventional CD players.
•
When the lead-in area is provided with the table of contents, the CD recorder
uses the information stored here and not the data from the PMA area.
•
Identification of the end of the disc is stored in the Lead-out. The CD player
stops playback of a disc when reaching this area.
