Notes on MDs
Since the disc itself is housed in a cartridge,
free from accidental contact with your fingers
and dust, MDs can withstand a certain degree
of the rough handling. However, dirt or dust
on the surface of the cartridge or a warped
cartridge may cause a malfunction. Observe
the following for best results.
Never touch the surface of the disc itself by
deliberately opening the shutter on the
cartridge.
When you eject the MD, the shutter may be
open. In such a case, close the shutter
immediately.
Do not expose the MD to direct sunlight or
heat sources such as hot air-ducts. Do not leave
it in a car parked in direct sunlight where there
can be a considerable rise in temperature.
Make sure the MD is not left on the dashboard
or rear tray of a car, etc. where the temperature
can also be excessive.
Notes on attaching labels
Be sure to attach labels on cartridges correctly,
as failing to do so may cause the MD to
become stuck in the unit.
• Attach the label in a suitable position.
• Remove old labels before putting new ones
on.
• Replace labels that are beginning to peel
away from the MD.
Cleaning
Wipe the surface of the cartridge from time to
time with a soft dry cloth.
