The compact disk represents the first major change in the basic method of recording audio on a disk since the original Berliner records pre-1900.

Function

Used to store and carry recorded media.

Technical

In the compact disk system of recording, sound levels are converted to a series of binary codes on the disk in the shape of tiny pits. During playback, a laser beam focuses on the pits which reflect the laser light. Variations in the reflected light rays are then converted back into a continuous audio form.
