But Mini Discs can be usedtostoreandplay back a full80minutes of information. Unlike a CD, a MiniDisc 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 ortangled, a MiniDisc Mini is an excellent durable media. Two types of discs There are two types of MiniDiscs: "Optical discs" and "Magneto-optical discs". Both types use laser beams and optical pick-up technology to read recorded information during playback. Optical discs-- A These are playback only discs. Like CDs, they are used as prerecorded music discs. Youcannotrecordoredit them. Theshutter covers the opening only on the non-labeled side of the MD. Recordable MO* 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. The shutter covers the opening on the both sides of the MD. Magneto-optical 78

WHAT
IS
A
MIN/DISC?
English
Mini
A
Mini
Disc
is
only
64
mm
(2
5
/
8
inches)
in
diameter;
about
half
the
size
of
a
conventional
CD.
But
Mini
Discs
can
be
used
to
store
and
play
back
a
full
80
minutes
of
information.
Unlike
a
CD,
a
Mini
Disc
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
ortangled,
a
MiniDisc
is
an
excellent
durable
media.
Two
types
of
discs
There
are
two
types
of
MiniDiscs:
"Optical
discs"
and
"Magneto
-optical
discs".
Both
types
use
laser
beams
and
optical
pick-up
technology
to
read
recorded
information
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
covers
the
opening
only
on
the
non

side
of
the

like

The
recording
method
called

technology
employs
a
laser

Therefore,
the
quality
