How To Clean an Optical Disc Player

[@kojelautakamera4013]

Remember to clean the residual off with dry swab after you have used cleaning solvent . It usually leaves a film which is not good. In normal situation you don't need to use any cleaning solvent but if the player has been in cigarette smoke, it may leave very bad film and also destroys bearings. I know because I am VTR (video tape recorder) maintenance engineer.

[@thevintagehifiambassador8524]

hello. an aged repair guy on KZbin told me to use my own spit to clean the lens. I do not trust him. Please tell me if he is right.

[@joecruz6237]

After all these years of not reading certain CDS its working like new!!! Thank you for this easy fix! 🙏

[@jstagmer78]

Thanks for this! Just cleaned my old Ken wood 5 disc cd player and it worked! It was skipping like every 15 seconds and now no more skipping!

[@chrisdelgado3530]

It worked. My DVD player is working like new. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@enriquetitan06]

Sure thing, mate!

Thank you, thank you! Have been mystified by mother-in-law's Bose Wave Radio CD player malfunction for the past year. Did what this video demonstrated and POOF! magically it plays CDs again! BTW your little actor did a great job.

[@leerasmussen6843]

Thanks to you -- I did it!!!!💃 It is loading discs again! 80 y.o. doin' it!! 😚❤

I have a 9-year old Onkyo AM/FM stereo CD player and this is really the only way to clean that lens inside because of that issue regarding the front-loading tray. If done properly like the woman describes in this upload, you only need to do it once a year (or every 10 months if you live in a "dust-friendly" household like I do unfortunately). Saved me a lot of headaches knowing it wasn't my CDs that were defective (even the near-mint condition ones I had were skipping, lol). Eventually I'll replace the one I already have since its design has already been made obsolete, but damn it's still been one of my best purchases to date. :-)

OUCH ...!!! Cotton swab on a Laser Lens ? Micro Fiber cloth with a bit off soft screen cleaner on it works best !! Just put the micro fiber cloth around one finger & very gently with very little to no pressure, wipe the Laser Lens !! DEv

[@MArk-yn4sp]

Thanks for a CONCISE video.

[@OldSonyMan]

I did this to my minidisc player (without alcohol), I never though it would work but it absolutely did. So thank you for the vid !

Useful safety warning regarding looking at lasers not often mentioned BEWARE

[@ragasudhathangaraj6817]

Thank you very much. Earlier I tried but didn't work. Tried again now and it solved.

[@EdmondZombiefield]

This is for an old dvd player that is not worth having professionally repaired. It also has no warranty. I've done this with xbox's and have brought them back to life. I'd use a nitrogen blower as well. Also he did it, he had his daughter as a fun example of how easy it is.

Cool a hip cd cleaner video!

[@SilverDetroit]

Yes! this is how HowCast used to be! :D

[@Icelimejuice]

Can i use microfiber cloth to wipe the dirt off the laser lens?

[@nothx880]

Not suggested. I think lens is sensitive, so you cant just clean it with any cloth or your finger. Thats the reason I saw this video.

[@joannesmith7987]

Well, I thought it would be easy - It was - but neither machine plays a disk. I was really careful too. HELP.

Your cd player doesnt read DVDS maybe?

[@wiiu7640]

False, the first cd made with audio was Claudio Arrau performing Chopin waltzes

[@dsgrsdh2930]

Can anyone find the source audio for the background beat?

[@k.yellsiahk.yellaiah5278]

Which oil used by clean in disk

[@mikedelhoo]

Do not use oil - use isopropyl alcohol (also called rubbing alcohol) or maybe a lens cleaning solution.

[@ashscott6068]

Step 5: "Unplug the device." Step 8 "Be careful not to look into the lens." Okay...But since none of the steps from 5 to 8 was "Plug the device back in and switch it on", I'm not really sure why I'm trying to do this with my eyes closed.

[@charleysturbos7320]

Just say thank you and go away. If you don't have something nice to say ,go away. It helped hundreds of people. We don't care about your negativity and OCD issues of correctness.

[@apointofinterest8574]

@@charleysturbos7320 Forget "negativity" and also "OCD." How can one properly clean a lens without directly looking at it?

[@EditorDudesPlayList]

What a clever little girl! LoL My problem is that regular CDs play OK but mp3 CD playback has a sort of stacatto effect and possibly some skipping. What causes that?

[@gordonmiller7969]

[@FridayGirl822006]

Ummmm they do have disc cleaners to do that right?

[@cjwhite6448]

yes they do have disc cleaners disc I have a disc cleaner but sometimes that methods works better because you are in more direct contact with the laser lens than the disc cleaner does I found that out for myself

[@LKLD_Grandma]

FridayGirl822006 this is cheaper

[@Alexvilla2000]

Or you can just get a can of air duster, eject player tray, unplug power, put straw in and spray. Then plug it in, reset tray, eject tray, pop in movie and enjoy

[@jasonledyard404]

good advice, but if you use fake fog the residue won't easily be removed with this method, unfortunately.

[@dio19892007]

@@jasonledyard404 I wasn't talking about fake fig. I was referring to air in a can.

[@jasonledyard404]

@James White, fake fog is how many CD players become less than functional over time. DJs, nightclubs and other professionals use fake fog... that means compressed air won't help much unfortunately.
