Handling of Mini Disc
As the Mini Disc is accommodated inside a cartridge, it can be handled without caring about dust or fingerprint. However, stained or soiled cartridge may cause malfunction. To enjoy beautiful sound for extended period of time, take care on the following points.
Do not touch the disc directly.
Do not touch the disc by opening the shutter with your hand. The cartridge will be damaged if it is forced open.
Storage position
Do not leave Mini Discs 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 prevent dust from penetrating inside the disc, take the disc out of the unit immediately after completion of recording or playback.
Care
Wipe periodically dust and dirt attached on the cartridge with a dry cloth.
Write protect tab
To protect recorded contents against accidental 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.
