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 it open or the disc may be destroyed.
