Handling MDs

The MD is enclosed in a cartridge to protect the disc from debris or finger prints and make it easy to handle. However, the presence of debris or a warped cartridge may inhibit the disc from operating properly. To assure that you can always listen to the highest quality music, follow the precautions below.

Do not touch the internal disc directly

Forcing the shutter open may damage the MD.
