Abstract
It should be stressed that this introduction does not intend to mention and recognize all people within Philips and Sony who contributed to establish the CD digital audio system standard in 1980. This standard is based on the collaborative work of many persons, both from Philips and from Sony, and it would be impossible to properly acknowledge all these individuals in the space of only a few pages. More information on the persons involved can be found in the doctoral thesis (in German) by Jürgen Lang (“Das Compact Disc Digital Audio System”, 1996, RWTH, Aachen, ISBN 3-00-001052-1) introduction only aims at describing some important decisions that were made between the successful demonstration of the CD prototype on March 8, 1979, and the establishment of the Philips-Sony CD standard in June 1980.
