Handling MDs
MD handling precautions
To maintain high quality audio for a long period
Since the disc is accommodated inside a cartridge, it
can be handled easily without caring about dust and
dirt. However, to maintain the high audio quality for an
extended period, use care in the following points.
Installation location
Do not install the MD in following places.
• In a place subject to direct sunlight or where the
temperature rises, for example in a closed
automobile. The disc may be warped and unusable in
these places.
• In a bathroom or where the humidity is high. The disc
may be rusted in these places.
• On a beach or sandbox. The disc surface may be
scratched or damaged if grit penetrates through an
opening on the cartridge.
Periodical maintenance
When the cartridge gets dusty or dirty, wipe with a soft,
dry cloth.
Do not open the shutter.
The shutter is usually locked to prevent opening. Do not
force to open it or the disc may be destroyed.
To protect important recording
A recordable MD has a sliding tab for protection against
accidental erasure of important recording.
After recording or editing, slide open the accidental
erasure protect tab on the cartridge edge to make
additional recording or editing impossible. If you want to
re-record or edit the disc, slide the protect tab again.
