The Compact Disc Digital Audio System offers, on a small, convenient sound-carrier, state-of-the-art sound reproduction. The Compact Disc's superior performance is the result of laser-optical scanning combined with digital playback, and is independent of the technology used in making the original recording. Recording technology is identified by a three-letter code:

DDD = digital tape recorder used during session recording, mixing and/or editing, and mastering (transcription).

ADD = analog tape recorder used during session recording; digital tape recorder used during subsequent mixing and/or editing and during mastering (transcription).

AAD = analog tape recorder used during session recording and subsequent mixing and/or editing; digital tape recorder used during mastering (transcription).

For best results, apply the same care in storing and handling Compact Discs as you would with conventional records. No cleaning will be necessary if the Compact Disc is always held by the edges and is replaced in its case immediately after playing. Should the Compact Disc become soiled with fingerprints, dust or dirt, it can be wiped (always in a straight line, from center to edge) with a clean, soft, dry, lint-free cloth. No solvent or abrasive cleaner should ever be used. If you follow these suggestions, your Compact Discs will provide a lifetime of pure listening enjoyment.

Yeah, right.

"sound-carrier" - no-one has used this term before or since. "state-of-the-art" - either redundant or wrong.

I have ADD, which prevented me from reading the whole post, so I voted for that.

Nothing about not spreading strawberry jam all over it?

If I’m drinking liquor straight from the bottle, I have to recite this in my head before I can put it down.

What about: The music on this compact digital disc was originally recorded on analog equipment. We have attempted to preserve, as closely as possible, the sound of the original recording. Because of it's high resolution, however, the compact disc can reveal limitations of the source tape.

Or the Columbia Records favorite: This Compact Disc was manufactured to meet critical quality standards. If you believe the disc has a manufacturing defect, please call our Quality Management Department at 800-255-7514. New Jersey residents should call 609-722-8224.
