Notes on MDs
Since the disc itself is housed in a cartridge,
free from accidental contact with your fingers
and dust, MDs can withstand a certain degree
of the rough handling. However, dirt or dust
on the surface of the cartridge or a warped
cartridge may cause a malfunction. Observe
the following for best results.
Never touch the surface of the disc itself by
deliberately opening the shutter on the
cartridge.
When you eject the MD, the shutter may be
open. In such a case, close the shutter
immediately.
Do not expose the MD to direct sunlight or
heat sources such as hot air-ducts. Do not leave
it in a car parked in direct sunlight where there
can a considerable rise in temperature.
Make sure the MD is not left on the dashboard
or rear tray of a car etc. where the temperature
can also be excessive.
Do not expose the discs to direct sunlight or
heat sources such as hot air-ducts, or leave
them in a car parked in direct sunlight where
there can be a considerable rise in the
temperature inside the car.
Before playing, clean the discs with an optional
cleaning cloth. Wipe each disc from the center
out.
Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner,
commercially available cleaners or antistatic
spray intended for analog discs.
