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.
Cleaning
If fingerprints or foreign matter become
attached to the disc, lightly wipe the disc
with a soft cotton cloth (or similar) from the
center of the disc outwards in a radial man-
ner.
Storage
When a disc is not to be played for a long
period of time, remove it from the CD player
and store it in its case.

which are marketed for improving the sound quality or protecting discs
as well as the disc cleaner should not be used with this system be-
cause they may cause malfunction.

Therefore, to avoid malfunction, never use a cracked or deformed
disc or a disc repaired with tape or adhesive agent.
