Suchannel


Every Block on a CD is also accompanied by 8 sub-channels (P, Q, ..., W).  Every Sub-channel can contain 12 bytes.  The P and Q sub-channels are used for time encoding and are very system critical.  E.g. Copy protections tamper with these channels.

The other sub-channels can contain data.  E.g. CD-Text data or Karaoke data.
