Constant angular velocity (CAV)
As opposed to CLV. A method of spinning a disc or disc carrying a signal. CAV means that the rate of spin remains unchanged regardless of where the reading device is on the surface. An LP is an example (which is part of the reason why the outer tracks tend to sound better than the inner ones). While CDs are designed to be operated at a CLV, fast CD-ROM drives actually run them with a CAV.
