Precautions for handling
the MiniDisc (MD)
The MD is housed in a cartridge, so you can handle it without wor-
rying about dust and fingerprints. Even so, a dirty or warped car-
tridge may cause malfunction. Always remember the following
precautions so you can enjoy high-quality sound for a long time.
Do not touch the disc in the cartridge directly with your fingers.
Do not open the shutter by hand. Doing so may damage the disc.
Storage location
Avoid storing MDs in a place subject to direct sunlight, high tem-
perature, or high humidity.
When the unit is not to be used for an extended period
Remove the MD from the unit to avoid dust entering the MD car-
tridge. When the MD is in the unit, the shutter of the MD cartridge
remains open.
Regular care
Wipe off dust and dirt accumulated on the cartridge surface using a
dry cloth.
Removing a halfway-inserted MD
If the “self-rock function” is activated and the MD cannot be
removed, push the MD further into the MD recorder and then press
the button to remove the MD.
