MD RECORDING (cont) pg. 24
WHAT IS AN MD (MINIDISC)?
An MD is only 64 mm (2 5/8 inches) in diameter, about half the size of a conventional CD. But an MD can be used
to store and playback a full 74 minutes of data such as a CD. Unlike a CD, an MD comes in a plastic cartridge, so
that it can be handled with ease. The cartridge also protects the disc inside from shocks, dust and scratches. Unlike
cassette tapes, which can become stretched or tangled, an MD is an excellent durable media.
TYPE OF MD
There are two types of MDs: "Optical discs" and "Magneto-optical discs". Both types use laser beams and optical
pick-up technology to read recorded data during playback.
Optical discs
These are playback only discs. Like CDs, they are used as prerecorded music discs. You cannot record or edit them.
The shutter cover the
opening only on the
non-labeled side of the
MD.
Recordable MO* 1 discs
These are recordable discs which can be recorded on again and again, like cassette tapes. The recording method
called magneto-optical technology employs a laser and magnetism to record signals. Therefore, the quality of
recorded sound does not deteriorate even after many playbacks and recordings.
