MD RECORDING (cont) pg. 24

WHAT IS AN MD (MINIDISC)?

An MD is only 64 mm (2 5/8 inches) in diameter, about half the size of a conventional CD. But an MD can be used to store and playback a full 74 minutes of data such as a CD. Unlike a CD, an MD comes in a plastic cartridge, so that it can be handled with ease. The cartridge also protects the disc inside from shocks, dust and scratches. Unlike cassette tapes, which can become stretched or tangled, an MD is an excellent durable media.

TYPE OF MD

There are two types of MDs: "Optical discs" and "Magneto-optical discs". Both types use laser beams and optical pick-up technology to read recorded data during playback.

Optical discs

These are playback only discs. Like CDs, they are used as prerecorded music discs. You cannot record or edit them.

The shutter cover the opening only on the non-labeled side of the MD.

Recordable MO*1 discs

These are recordable discs which can be recorded on again and again, like cassette tapes. The recording method called magneto-optical technology employs a laser and magnetism to record signals. Therefore, the quality of recorded sound does not deteriorate even after many playbacks and recordings.
