Notes on MDs

Since an MD itself is housed in a cartridge, free from accidental contact with your fingers and dust, it can withstand a certain degree of the rough handling. However, dirt or dust on the surface of the cartridge or a warped cartridge may cause a malfunction. Observe the following for best results.

Never touch the surface of the MD itself by deliberately opening the shutter on the cartridge.

Do not expose the MD to direct sunlight or heat sources such as hot air-ducts. Do not leave it in a car parked in direct sunlight where there can a considerable rise in temperature.

Make sure the MD is not left on the dashboard or rear tray of a car. where the temperature can also be excessive.

Notes on mounting labels

Be sure to mount labels on cartridges correctly, as failing to do so may cause the MD to become stuck in the changer.

•Mount the label in a suitable position. •Remove old labels before putting new ones

on.

•Replace labels that are beginning to peel away from the MD.

Cleaning

Wipe the surface of the MD cartridge from time to time with a soft dry cloth.
