This means they use Eight-to-Fourteen Modulation, CIRC error correction, and, for CD-ROM, the third error correction layer defined in the Yellow Book. The Yellow Book standard for CD-ROM only specifies a high-level data format and refers to the Red Book for all physical format and low-level code details, such as track pitch, linear bit density, and bitstream encoding. Written CD-Rs and CD-RWs are, in the aspect of low-level encoding and data format, fully compatible with the audio CD ( Red Book CD-DA) and data CD ( Yellow Book CD-ROM) standards. The latest editions have abandoned the use of the term 'CD-WO' in favor of 'CD-R', while ' CD-MO' was little used.
Originally named CD Write- Once (WO), the CD-R specification was first published in 1988 by Philips and Sony in the Orange Book, which consists of several parts that provide details of the CD-WO, CD-MO ( Magneto- Optic), and CD-RW ( Re Writable).
