'''CD+G''' (also known as '''CD-G''', '''CD+Graphics''', and '''TV-Graphics'''<ref name="logos">{{Cite web |url=https://www.edocpublish.com/resources-2/specifications/cd-logos/ |title=CD Logos |date=February 4, 2013}}</ref>) is an extension of the [[Compact Disc Digital Audio|compact disc]] standard that enables the display of low-resolution graphics alongside audio content when played on a compatible device. This functionality is most commonly associated with [[karaoke]] systems, which use CD+G discs to display on-screen lyrics synchronized with music playback. The CD+G format was defined by [[Philips]] and [[Sony]] as an extension of the [[Rainbow Books|Red Book]] specification for audio CDs.<ref name="jbum">{{Cite web |url=https://jbum.com//cdg_revealed.html |title=CD+G Revealed |website=jbum.com}}</ref><ref name="logos" />

The first commercially released CD to utilize the CD+G format was ''[[Eat or Be Eaten (album)|Eat or Be Eaten]]'' by [[Firesign Theatre]] in 1985.<ref>{{Cite book |title=The Compact Disc Book |author1=Brewer, Bryan |author2=Key, Edd |publisher=Harcourt Brace Jovanovich |year=1987 |page=96}}</ref> A related format, [[#Improvements|CD+EG]], offers enhanced graphical capabilities but has seen little adoption in commercial releases.<ref name="jbum" />
