Important Items
Handling of MD
As the MD is accommodated inside a cartridge, it can be handled without caring about dust or fingerprint. How-
ever, stained or soiled cartridge may cause malfunction. To enjoy beautiful sound for extended period of time,
take care on the following points.
Storage position
Do not leave MDs in place where the temperature and/
or humidity are extremely high (for example, in a place
subject to direct sunlight).
Dust countermeasure
The shutter of the disc cartridge is permanently open
while the disc is loaded in the set. Therefore, to pre-
vent dust from penetrating inside the disc, take the
disc out of the unit immediately after completion of
recording or playback.
Note on disc accessories
Do not use the lens cleaner for this may lead to mal-
function of the unit.
Care
Wipe periodically dust and dirt attached on the car-
tridge with a dry cloth.
Write protect tab
To protect recorded contents against accidental era-
sure, set the write protect tab of the disc open. Re-
turn the tab to the original position when you want to
record signals on the disc.
