WARNING: Do not play track 1 of this game CD on ANY Audio CD Player. Now THAT, sounds like a challenge. #ChallengeAccepted
In this video I'll be using a number of 90s CD Players and Boomboxes to see exactly why there's such a pronounced warning on this Zool 2 CD about playing on a standard stereo system. What will this horrific audio be? I'll also explain the reasons why it's how it turns out to be. So let's delve into playing a CD-ROM on an audio CD Player.

I watched a handful of AVGN videos, he tends to not actually discuss the content topic but proceeds to spew profanity at any detail he can isolate and focus down on. I've noticed that his "game reviews" tend to never focus on gameplay or analysis of planning or storytelling techniques and almost exclusively criticise readability and graphics with lots of poop-related profanity. His actual opinions are likely only 2% the reason why people watch his videos, I would guess most people watch them for his rants, quirky skits and exposing obscure game titles.

@priestfan81 5 лет назад

Hahaha. I am a fan of you and AVGN, but I tend to not take him very seriously. No torrents here... of abuse anyway.

@Xilefian 5 лет назад

@@voltare2amstereoI'd be happy with this but looking at the comments on the videos it seems that the majority of AVGN's audience doesn't get this and absorbs the opinions expressed on AVGN as good criticism. I've been told a number of times over the years it's satirical take on game reviews, and the content as a whole feels tired so it clearly appears to me as a satire that's dragged on too long, but I really don't think the majority of its audience even thinks this.

@kirkkohnen5050 5 лет назад

The warning is reasonable. Essentially random data will manifest itself as white noise. This noise has an equal amount of power per Hz of bandwidth. The woofer in a speaker has a few hundred Hz of bandwidth. The midrange has a few kHz of bandwidth. The tweeter covers about 15 kHz of bandwidth. That means that this noise disproportionately drives almost all the energy into the tweeter. Most normal music puts most of the energy into the woofer and the least into the tweeter. So, playing this track at medium to loud volume can indeed destroy the tweeter and or the crossover network in the speaker.

@simonoleary9264 5 лет назад

This is also the reason why they put low-pass filters on the output of CD players. The raw output from the DAC will contain frequencies that probably go into the Mhz (see Fourier Analysis of waveforms), and these will fry your speakers (and your amp probably won't like it much either).

@Yeen125 5 лет назад

Simon O'Leary Then again, many cheap CD players (especially ones you would find in an integrated stereo or boom box from a discount retailer like Walmart) don’t have a good low-pass filter (if it even has one at all). So they still had to put that warning label on the CD-ROM.

@mikeymcmikeface5599 5 лет назад

Although it's not random data.

@kirkkohnen5050 5 лет назад

@@mikeymcmikeface5599 Computer code, in binary and interpreted as 16 bit signed values, will look awfully like white noise. White noise has the same amount of energy per Hz of bandwidth. That overloads the tweeter, since it covers over 10 kHz of bandwidth. Regular sound or music has a much higher percentage of energy in the woofer and midrange bands. This is the reason for the warning.

I learned about data tracks the hard way:- I put an OS/2 installation CD into my Yamaha CD-X1 "Natural Sound" player. Remember that back then a lot of CDs were AAD and recorded at a lower level, to match other inputs. So I had the volume up higher, and when itbstarted playing I flinched (I never flinch!) so badly I back-handed my coffee mug across the room, leaving a big bruise on my hand. I also stood up suddenly (a bad move in an old place with low ceilings) and my head hit the ceiling beam. I saw stars for about 5 minutes :-) Apart from that, no problem!

Some devs actually put warnings in the actual disk itself as a warning. Most known of this is the Castlevania: Symphony of the Night disk. Where if you put it in a CD player, Alucard just goes "This is a Playstation black disk, it has computer data. Cut Number 1 has cimputer data, so please don't play it. But you probably won't listen to me anyway." then a hidden bonus track starts playing before the data noise starts.

A Red Book compliant CD-DA player will start playing audio at Track 01, Index 01. So CDs that had data and Red Book audio would/should put the data at Track 01, Index 00. The problem we ("we" being Philips) discovered was that many (most?) CD-DA players were not exactly Red Book compliant. Later, this got solved by multi-session CDs. Legacy CD-DA players wouldn't find any session but the first one, so anything that wasn't Red Book audio would be on the second session. Interestingly, CD-DA players eventually seem to have abandoned Indices for whatever reason. I guess having 99 tracks provided enough address space for users to reach the bits of audio they were looking for. It's still part of the spec, though.

@davidbrown1573 3 года назад

Your disc player may have a built in protection against playing data as an audio frequency. I had a copy of red alert counterstrike that I accidentally played the data track once and it sounded quite similar to a 56K modem or fax machine busy line. That's what is supposed to play on older devices. Though some discs, much like red alert counterstrike had bonus audio tracks too.

@OMA2k 3 года назад

Early CDs that mixed data and audio played "noise" in track 1 (the data track) and the music in tracks from 2 onwards, but later CDs used a "multi-session" system so audio players could only see the audio tracks, and even track 1 contained music as well. That CD was probably the latter type and thus, completely safe to play in an audio system, especially given that it was a children's game CD.

It's actually a really good video. CD-ROM could fit data, audio and video on the same disc (.EXE .WAV .AVI/MPEG). I was thinking you were going to point out the difference in sound, if any, putting it into an audio device without a PC and we would hear modem noises (I used to do this to wake my housemates up when they drink too much too early). I didn't know CD players actually implemented tech that could read the data as a sound (backwards as that sends written it makes sense to me as I'm drunk). Thank you for that and I did thumbsup the comment just below thinking it was the first Rickroll as well. Also the Rick Astley song used is only 3:35 so I want wiping when I watched you put the right disc in for a 4:04 (editing is the new God). Good job Tim (errr I meant Eric sorry I meant Nerd). Peace!

@matthewday7565 5 лет назад

The two reasons are: 1. Unpleasantly loud noise, since it would be at 100% in the days before all CDs were recorded at the 100% wall 2. High frequency content could possibly damage tweeters, as they are often rated rather lower than the woofer For mixed mode CD, the later solution was enhanced CD, when later CD-ROM drives supported multisession. Since old CD players didn't understand multisession, they played audio tracks from the first session which was all they knew about … the same would result from very old PC CD-ROM drives of the 1x/2x era. The data track was in the second session

@silkwesir1444 5 лет назад

I wonder why that latter solution was used so rarely. Did they not trust that it would always work?

@tin2001 5 лет назад

Multisession CDs didn't read in some early CDROM drives. Our Creative 2x CD drive didn't like them. I ran across some up to about the 8X era that wouldn't read multisession. The next problem was that some audio CD players also struggled with them because, despite the obvious logic being to play what it sees first, some would still see the extra stuff there and either list 0 tracks, or claim there was no disk. This was a big problem for audio CDs that had bonus PC features - so big of problem that they were banned from using the CD Audio logo on any such disks.

@nickwallette6201 5 лет назад

It's technically not red book audio anymore. Since a red book CD is so rigidly defined, the electronics could be designed to be very simple. That means CD players are often very dumb devices. If you mess with the specifications and bend the rules, there's no telling what all those dumb players would do. You've pulled the rug out from under them, having said "the disc layout should always look like this..." and then suddenly it doesn't. Same thing for all those DRM techniques. Most of them inserted invalid data into the TOC. Well every now and then a player would read it and get totally confused and fall over. So, no CD Audio logo for those either. While we're on the topic of rigid standards... Technically all tracks are supposed to have two seconds of silence as a pregap (index 00, where the player counts -0:01, -0:00, 0:00, 0:01 ...), but that rule got broken so early that I've never run across a player that couldn't handle a 0-second pregap. And all players I've heard play the audio data in the pregap as well, which I suppose should be optional since it's supposed to be silence. Aside from the obvious purpose of gapless track transitions, the gap thing provided means for all manner of shenanigans. Every now and then I would write a custom TOC and burn a CD-R with maybe several minutes of audio data before 0:00 on track 1. :-) Shenanigans.

This is 100% what it was about. There were two issues. Data causing excessive HF driving causing high heat loading of transistors and tweeter capacitors. And data that contains long ultra low frequencies. The data track protection feature checks that the sounds fit a spectrum known not to damage the radio, lets say 30Hz - 25KHz. This protected both the speakers and amplifiers.

I remember this happening with my copy of Sonic R for the PC. There was no warning but I recall on a whim putting it in a CD player being greeted by a long track 1 of this crazy noise, followed by the full soundtrack of the game. Now I’m curious. Were the MP3s playable on the disk the same files the game was pulling from during gameplay? Or were they an unmarked bonus for use in a CD player? I remember the files just sitting on a folder on the disk. The very same files my iTunes uses to play me “Can You Feel the Sunshine” to this very day.
