What is CAA then?
CAA stands for Constant Angular Acceleration. To be exact, the discs that nowadays are entitled CLV, are actually CAA discs. In CAA the disc speed is not slowed down constantly, but it is kept constant for some time and then rapidly slowed down. The point in this system is to keep the horizontal sync signals aligned on adjacent disc tracks to keep crosstalk to a minimum. In Blaine Youngs (Blam1@aol.com) words: “CLV: This format is dead. The name is still used for simplicity’s sake, but 3M is the only manufacturer which uses it. In 1982/3, there was a shift to CAA. This is the only format used today. (Again, except for 3M which incorporates a minor variant on CLV to eliminate crosstalk). Regardless of which format is used (CLV or CAA) it is still required to have crosstalk rejection code built into the mastering software to prevent master crosstalk. Technidisc does not use such software and as a result, most of their CLV stuff looks like crap. CAA also offers something else, 5 different
