According to the invention, parametric multichannel information (16 b) is written on a standard audio compact disc, e.g. in the user sub-channels, such that the CD enables a normal stereo reproduction by means of a standard reproduction appliance, or rather a multi-channel reproduction with an additional appliance that is easy to connect, said additional appliance reading both the stereo information (16 a) and the parametric multi-channel information (16 b) from the standard audio CD and reconstructing more than two audio channels on the basis of said information. |
