tridge with a dry cloth.

dental erasure, set the write protect tab of
the disc open. Return the tab to the original
position when you want to record signals
on the disc.
Note on the cartridge labels

which MD-Clip data (still images, etc.) have
been recorded. Otherwise, the Clip data

speed in the player. Therefore, to avoid dan-
ger, never use a cracked or deformed disc
or a disc repaired with tape or adhesive
agent. Please do not use discs which are
not round because they may cause malfunc-
tion.

sheet, protection ring, etc.) which are mar-
keted for improving the sound quality or pro-
tecting discs as well as the disc cleaner
should not be used with this system be-
cause they may cause malfunction.

tridge, it can be handled without caring
about dust or fingerprint. However, stained
or soiled cartridge may cause malfunction.
To enjoy beautiful sound for extended pe-
riod of time, take care on the following
points.
Do not touch the disc directly.
Do not touch the disc by
opening the shutter with

perature and/or humidity are extremely high
