If manufacturers added this useful feature, it can come in handy if the deck
is deployed in a school or similar environment for students or others to
listen to MDs on (MDs being the ideal medium for keeping music education,
language-learning and other educational audio material on because it is hard
to damage the discs).
Also, in our church, we use MD as a "cart machine" for backing tracks during
praise and worship and when we are between services; especially when we
fellowship with each other after the service, we sometimes find little
fingers discovering the controls on our MD deck. As a matter of course, we
make sure that all discs are "locked-out" using the write-protect switch to
prevent any problems with over-recording or unwanted editing.
This feature can be implemented by use of a button on the remote control
much like the C-LOCK mode on a VCR (which stops others from operating a VCR
which is doing something like recording your favourite TV show).
With regards,
Simon Mackay
