5.1.3. CD-R / CD-RW Data Configurations
Before writing
CD-R / CD-RW disc contains time-code information called ATIP.
ATIP is abbreviation of "Absolute Time In Pre-groove" in the wobbling groove by modulating
the carrier frequency.
(Address information is pre-formatted to ATIP on the CD-R / CD-RW disc and method for the
guide groove to wobble by FM modulation.)
Figure 6 shows the composition of ATIP.

Data are written in CD format synchronizing with ATIP.
5.1.4. DVD-R/-RW Data Configurations
Before writing
DVD-R / -RW disc contains ECC block address embossed as the pre-pit information on the land.
The ECC block address is the absolute physical of the track., and corresponds to 16 sector, equal in
size to 1 ECC block to be recorded in the groove.
Figure 7 shows the ECC block address stricture.
