Safety Precautions
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.
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 ex-
tended period of time, take care on the following points.
Care
Wipe periodically dust and dirt attached on the cartridge with a dry
cloth.

Installation position
The MD recorder is very sensitive to vibrations. It should be installed
in a position subject to as small vibration as possible.
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.
