Re: Good Points

Answer to 3rd Question:

Estimate the inside diameter of one unused RCA jack, then calculate area and multiply that area by number of unused RCA jacks. Next, estimate total area of all gaps in player chassis (through which light can also escape). (A small 2x2 piece of paper can usually be inserted into many of the seams around the chassis and especially around the CD tray assembly.)

In addition, many players have holes drilled in the bottom of the chassis.

Estimate total area through which light can escape player by adding total area of unused RCA jacks and total area of all gaps and holes in the chassis.

Next, estimate photons/sec produced by the CD laser. This is commonly given as approx. 10 to the 17 photons per second.

Next, estmate the percentage of total photons that escape player per second. For the sake of argument, let's say a *very conservative* percentage is 1%. Thus, approx. 10 to the 15 photons escape the player per second.
