Notes on Mini Discs (MD)
3 How to Handle MDs
An MD is held in a cartridge to protect the MD from
foreign matter and fingerprints. Great care must be
taken in dealing with an MD in consideration of the
following because a dirty or deformed cartridge can
cause malfunction or sound quality deterioration.
¡ Never open the shutter of an MD cartridge to
avoid damaging to the cartridge.
¡ Never insert an MD cartridge if a label on it is
about to come off. Otherwise, the label might be
stuck in the unit and cause a trouble.
¡ Data MD is not available for the unit. Make sure to
use music MDs.
3 How to Store MDs
¡ If you do not play an MD for a long time, remove
the MD from the unit and keep it in an exclusive
case to protect it from dust, scratch, curvature or
other damage.
¡ Avoid leaving MDs at any of the following places.
1. A place exposed to direct sunlight for a long
time
2. A humid or dusty place
3. A place exposed to direct heat from heaters.
4. Seats or dashboard in a car
Fuse
Use fuses of the same specified rating (15 A). Using different substitutes or fuses with higher ratings, or con-
necting the unit directly without a fuse, could cause fire or damage to the unit.
If the replacement fuse fails, contact your nearest authorized Panasonic Service Center.

Maintenance

Your product is designed and manufactured to ensure the minimum of maintenance. Use a soft cloth for rou-
