IMPORTANT: These discs have recently been rebranded by TDK. They are no longer identified as CD-RXG and CD-RWXG discs but the simplified CDR-Audio and CDRW-Audio.

CD-Recordable and CD-ReWritable for Audio
TDK's CD-R Audio range of discs is ideally suitable for all Digital Audio recording applications, and can be used with all types of CD Recorder and writer including Philips, Pioneer and Marantz standalone CD recorders.

Note that in keeping with the rest of the industry TDK have phased out 74 minute (650Mb) discs in favour of 80 minute (700 Mb) discs.

High sensitivity recording layer ensuring optimum compatibility.
TDK's CD-R Audio discs have a highly sensitive recording layer which is made from a TDK organic dye material. Thanks to this material, even relatively low intensity recording laser beams will be accurately recorded, achieving a low error rate. Hence, TDK's CD-R Audios guarantees flawless compatibility with all of today's consumer audio CD-R recorders and CD players.

Outstanding mechanical and optical characteristics.
The materials used in the manufacture of the CD-R Audio discs and the manufacturing process itself, are subject to strict quality control procedures to ensure a product that exhibits superior performance and flawless reliability under all conditions of use. The substrate onto which the recording layer is coated is made by precision injection moulding from a high-quality polycarbonate resin material having exceptional purity and transparency. As a result, outstanding optical and mechanical characteristics are achieved.

The tasks of a high-performance reflective layer.
TDK's CD-R Audio discs features a reflective layer made by gold sputtering to enhance the disk sensitivity to the laser beam. It excels with outstanding heat dissipation, which is an important factor in the accurate forming of the recording pits. In addition, gold is highly resistant to moisture and corrosion, providing the recording layer with added protection by itself.

High-durability protective layer shields the recording layer from external influences.
A CD-R can only achieve a long service life and flawless reliability if protected against certain adverse environmental conditions. TDK's CD-R Audio discs features a highly-durable protective layer made of special resin that protects the recording and reflective layers against external influences. Amongst others, the resistance of the protective layer against moisture and corrosion ensures that recorded data will remain safe for years.

Title area for direct entry of disc title information.
Thanks to a special coating, information such as the disc title and contents can be written directly onto the label side of the disc, using an oil-based soft-tip pen. So you won't lose track of your original recordings and compilations.
