This position has been underlined by tests showing the superior performance of the various Philips players, as well as by the positive experiences of millions of individual consumers around the world. Constantly improving performance As the penetration of the CD system has increased, and new applications like CDROM and Video CD have become commonplace, Philips Components - as the CD technology inventor and as one of the major suppliers of CD player modules in the industry - has constantly improved the performance of its products. One of the ways in which this benefits users is by optimum disc playability. This is an important parameter for CD players other than CD Audio, and especially for the Video CD applications, because any loss of data from the disc will at best cause disturbances in the reproduced picture, and at worst can cause the player to lose track so that disc playing fails. Presenting Super Error Correction To ensure consistently good results when playing Video CD discs of all quality grades and conditions, Philips has introduced further improvements in the system's playability.
