ENGLISH WHAT IS THE ORANGE BOOK? • The Orange Book is a document that describes the specification for CD-Write Once (CD-Recordable) technology. • It defines both the physical structure and dimensions of a CD-R disc as well as the use of certain portions of the recording surface: • to record information (the Program area), • to calibrate the recorder laser power (Power Calibration area or PCA), • to record track information for all sessions (the Program Memory area or PMA), • to record the Lead-in Lead-out areas that preceed and follow, respectively, the Program area. • There are several "parts" to the Orange Book. Part II refers to CD-Recordable. WHAT DOES ORANGE BOOK CERTIFIED MEDIA MEAN AND WHY? • The Orange Book, Part II is the primary specification for CD-R media. Accordingly, all CD-R media should meet the Orange Book criteria for recordability and playback. • Philips and Sony, the orginators of the Orange Book, provide Orange Book certification of CD-R media. WHAT IS MULTISESSION CD? The principal purpose of multiple sessions is to allow additional data to be appended to a previously recorded disc. NOTE: SOME OLDER CD READERS CAN READ ONLY THE FIRST SESSION OF A MULTISESSION DISC. 25
