Abstract

Applicable to reproducing equipment for videodisks for home use that conforms to the specifications of IEC 60844, IEC 60845, IEC 60856 and IEC 60857. Addresses listing and defining the characteristics affecting the performance of videodisk players, establishing methods and conditions of measurement of those characteristics and standardizing the presentation of the results.
