General Notes

Handling MDs
� Do not open the shutter. - The shutter is locked so that it will not open. Trying to force it open will break the MD. If the shutter opens accidentally, close it again quickly without touching the MD inside. � Do not place MDs in the following places: - High temperature areas such as in direct sunlight or inside a car. - High humidity areas, e.g. in a bathroom. - On a beach or sandy area. � Clean MDs regularly. - If dust or dirt gets on cartridge, wipe it off with a soft dry cloth.
Handling CDs
