LD DISCS
The CLD-2850 can play both LD Discs and Compact Discs.
Unlike conventional phonograph records, these discs are
played back from the inside edge out.
LD Discs are available as both active play discs and long play
discs.
@ ACTIVE PLAY/STANDARD PLAY (CAV) DISCS
Active play discs are played at constant angular velocity
(CAV).
@ LONG PLAY/EXTENDED PLAY (CLV) DISCS
These discs are played back at constant linear velocity {CLV},
and are therefore able to play for a longer time than active
play discs.
