Storage

Handling of Mini Disc
As the Mini Disc is accommodated inside a cartridge, it can be handled without caring about dust or fingerprint.
However, stained or soiled cartridge may cause malfunction. To enjoy beautiful sound for extended period of
time, take care on the following points.
Do not touch the disc directly.
Do not touch the disc by opening the shutter with your
hand. The cartridge will be damaged if it is forced open.
Storage position
Do not leave Mini Discs in place where the temperature
and/or humidity are extremely high (for example, in a
place subject to direct sunlight).
Dust countermeasure
The shutter of the disc cartridge is permanently open while
the disc is loaded in the set. Therefore, to prevent dust from
penetrating inside the disc, take the disc out of the unit
immediately after completion of recording or playback.
