Handling Mini discs

The MD shutter is designed so that it cannot be opened. If forced open, the cartridge will be damaged and use of the MD will no longer be possible. If the shutter has been opened due to some cause, be careful not to touch the recording portion with a finger. Doing so will cause the sound to skip.

Do not use an MD that has a peeling label. Use of an MD that has a loose or peeling label may cause problems, such as the label coming off inside the player and the resultant inability to eject the MD.

Wipe away dirt or dust from the cartridge surface with a dry cloth before use. Using an oil-soiled cartridge in particular may result in the disc not loading or being unable to eject it. (At time of cleaning, be careful not to open the shutter.)

Do not leave the MD in the unit for a prolonged period. The ejected MD should be placed in an MD case for storage.

Do not leave the MD in a place exposed to direct sunlight (such as on a instrument panel) or in other places that reach high temperatures. The MD cartridge will become misshapen and will no longer be usable.

MDs designed for use with data cannot be used. Please use MDs designed for music.

Do not use lens cleaners. Doing so will lead to breakdown.
