Important items (continued)

Never play a cracked or warped disc

During playback, the disc rotates at high 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 a mal- function.

Disc accessories

The disc accessories (stabilizer, protection 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.

Handling of MD

As the MD is accommodated inside a car- 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 your hand. The cartridge will be damaged if it is forced open.

Storage position

Do not leave MDs in place where the tem- perature and/or humidity are extremely high (for example, in a place subject to direct sunlight).

Dust countermeasure

The shutter of the disc cartridge is perma- nently open while the disc is loaded in the set. Therefore, to prevent dust from pen- etrating 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.

Note on disc accessories

Do not use the lens cleaner for this may lead to malfunction of the unit.

Write protect tab

To protect recorded contents against acci- 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

Apply each label firmly to every corner so that it will not be peeled off.

Caution on MD-Clip data

Do not attempt to record or edit a disc in which MD-Clip data (still images, etc.) have been recorded. Otherwise, the Clip data may be lost.
