Information on MDs (Minidiscs)
This is a new digital audio disc format: it has a diameter of 64 mm and enables up to 74 minutes of playback and recording.
The cartridge
The diameter of the disc itself is 64 mm, smaller than a CD single.
The disc sits inside a 68 x 72 mm cartridge, which also being pocket
size, makes minidiscs extremely handy for carrying and storage.
Since the disc is protected by the cartridge, dust and dirt cannot eas-
ily get into it. And thanks to a shutter which is closed at all times
except during use, there is no need to worry about scratches or fin-
ger marks, making the handling of minidiscs very simple.
Two types of minidisc
There are two types of minidisc, “recordable MDs” and “playback-
only MDs.” The playback method for each is the same: a laser irra-
diates the disc and the signal is read from the beam which comes
back. However, the recording method for each type is different.
Playback-only MD
This is the type used for commercially-available pre-recorded MDs,
on which recording cannot be done. Like a CD, data is recorded
based on the presence or absence of small indentations called pits.
A disc recorded with this format is called an “optical disc.”
Recordable MDs
These are the so-called “blank” MDs you can use to make your own
recordings. Data is recorded by magnetism, which is easily proc-
essed, so that recording can be done again and again. By using a la-
ser to heat the disc, the magnetism is erased and the magnetic head
records the new data. Discs with this type of recording method are
called magneto-optical (MO) discs.
