Registers REG_CDDALEFTL and REG_CDDARIGHTL hold the values of the currently streamed CD audio data, in a reversed 16bit 2's complement format suited for the LC78815 DAC. They were only used to display the vu-meters in the CD player interface.
The CD system ROM uses the following code to reverse the bits:
;D1:Input, D0:Output
