Cleaning a DVD Lens
Posted: Wed May 19, 2004 12:54 am
Anyone got any recomendations on how to clean the lens on a DVD Player?
It is a 6 year old Pioneer 717 which i'm reluctant to get rid of. Lately it has started skipping on CD's that really shouldn't be a problem. It also no longer plays my hybrid SACD/CD copy of Dark Side Of The Moon.
I was thinking about wiping the lens with a cotton bud. Would there be any harm in using a drop of acetone too? that will remove any residues completely. i just don't know if the lens is coated with anything that might not like such a strong solvent.
Was also going to clean and re-grease the motor gearing with some silicon grease i got from work.
anything else i should do while i'm giving the unit a good service?
