All CED's have a number printed on the raised center section of the disc
that corresponds to either the number below the UPC (bar code) located
on the rear of the caddy or to the stock number printed on the edge

that would simultaneously read this engraved UPC and the printed UPC on
the caddy at the time of disc insertion to verify the correct disc was
being placed in the caddy with the correct orientation.
