dvd player cleaning

[LT. Columbo]

i have a dvd standalone player toshiba--about a year old/and many hours of use on it.

i believe in preventative maintenance and should be cleaned/ how does this work? i heard something about the laser????????

[setarip]

For that purposes, Maxell makes a DVD/CD cleaning disc that retails for approximately $10US...

sounds good, but how does it work? how can a disc clean?

[setarip]

It has a set of tiny brushes on its surface...

[LT. Columbo]

i see, have you ever used one setarip, and if so what is YOUR
opinion about these types of cleaners?

[kimomakano]

I have used one of these (at the suggestion of setarip) and must say that it did a very good job.

I used it on my desktop player and my PC unit and noticed improvement in both of them.

You really know how to hurt someone's feelings ;>}

Do you think I would recommend it (as I have countless times in these forums) if I HADN'T personally used it?

[kimomakano]

Your welcome, I would suggest that you make it part of a regular maintenance schedule. I do it about every couple of months just to keep the dust out.

i have never seen you reccomend it setarip....sorry to hurt your feelings. there was no sarcasm in my post by the way.

You didn't really hurt my feelings - I guess you didn't notice the ";>}" (old-fashioned "smiley" emoticon") - but I really have recommended the use of the Maxell DVD/CD cleaning disc numerous times at these forums...

To see just how many times, either click on this link:
