== How to Tell for Audio Releases ==
* Some discs pressed at the company's Terre Haute plant through 1993 have the DADC "D" logo molded onto the clear plastic hub/clamping ring.
* In 1988, codes were extended to have six digits: therefore any 6-digit DIDX/DIDP codes (i.e. DIDX 00nnnn) on the face label of the disc or in the matrix can't be earlier than 1988. Sometimes, older CDs originally released without leading zeros (e.g. DIDX-nnnn) were repressed with the new format (DIDX-00nnnn).
* Some matrices include 8 crosshair symbols in 1+2+5 format (🝊 🝊🝊 🝊🝊🝊🝊🝊)
