When the unit is used in places exposed to excessive vibration, cancel the auto power save function.

WHAT IS A MINIDISC?

A MiniDisc is a disc inside a protective cartridge. You can handle it freely without worrying about dust, fingerprints, etc. However, if dust enters the opening of the cartridge, or there is excessive dirt on the cartridge, or the cartridge becomes warped, you may experience malfunctions. Please note the following.
s Where not to store discs
Do not store discs in places with high temperatures or humidity. Specifically, do not leave discs in places exposed to direct sunlight or in cars with the doors and windows closed. Do not leave discs in places where sand can get into the cartridge easily (e.g., beaches).
s Handling the MiniDisc Do not touch the disc directly!
Do not open the shutter or touch the disc directly. If the shutter is opened forcibly, it may break. Disc Shutter Cartridge
