RECORDING AND REPRODUCING INFORMATION ON A DISC-SHAPED RECORDCARRIER

摘要

A method of recording and reproducing audio information on a disc shaped record carrier. During recording the audio information is divided into consecutive information segments of a duration ?t. Each information segment is subjected to time compression before recording. The duration ?t and the time compression are selected so that optimum use is made of the recording capacity of the record carrier without information loss. During reproduction the information segments are subjected to a complementary time expansion and recombined in their original sequence.
