On the MiniDisc cartridge

When carrying or storing the MiniDisc, keep it in its case.

Do not break open the shutter.

Do not place the cartridge where it will be subject to light, extreme temperatures, moisture or dust.

Attach the supplied MD label only in the space designated for it on the disc. Do not stick it on any other disc surface.

On cleaning

Clean the recorder casing with a soft cloth slightly moistened with water or a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent such as alcohol or benzene as it may mar the finish of the casing.

Wipe the disc cartridge with a dry cloth to remove dirt.

Dust on the lens may prevent the unit from operating properly. Be sure to close the disc compartment lid after inserting or ejecting an MD.

To obtain the best sound quality, use a dry cloth to wipe the plugs of the headphones/ earphones or the remote control. Dirty plugs may cause sound distortion or intermittent breaks in the sound.

Notes on batteries

Incorrect battery usage may lead to leakage of battery fluid or bursting battery. To prevent such accidents, observe the following precautions:

Install the + and – poles of the battery correctly.

Do not try to recharge dry battery.

When the recorder is not to be used for a long time, be sure to remove the batteries.

If a battery leak should develop, carefully and thoroughly wipe away battery fluid from the battery compartment before inserting new ones.

Note on mechanical noise

The recorder gives off mechanical noise while operating, which is caused by the power-saving system of the recorder and it is not a problem.

To protect a recorded MD

To record-protect an MD, slide open the tab at the side of the MD. In this position, the MD cannot be recorded. To record again, slide the tab back so the tab is visible.

If you have any questions or problems concerning your recorder, please consult your nearest Sony dealer. (If a trouble occurred when the disc was in the recorder, we recommend that the disc be left in the recorder when you consult your Sony dealer so that the cause of trouble may be better understood.)
