Precautions for handling
the MiniDisc (MD)
The MD is housed in a cartridge, so you can handle it
without worrying about dust and fingerprints. Even so,
a dirty or warped cartridge may cause malfunction.
Always remember the following precautions so you
can enjoy high-quality sound for a long time.
Do not touch the disc in the cartridge directly
with your fingers.
Do not open the shutter by hand. Doing so may
damage the disc.

Storage location
Avoid storing MDs in a place subject to direct
sunlight, high temperature, or high humidity.
When the unit is not to be used for an extended
period
Remove the MD from the unit to avoid dust entering
the MD cartridge. When the MD is in the unit, the
shutter of the MD cartridge remains open.
Regular care
Wipe off dust and dirt accumulated on the cartridge
surface with a dry cloth.
Removing the halfway inserted MD
If the "self-lock function" is activated and the MD
cannot be removed, push the MD further into the MD
disc slot and then press MD
remove the MD.
Protecting recordings from accidental
erasure
You can protect your MDs from accidental recording
by sliding the record-protect tab on the MDs to open
the record-protect window. To make the MDs
