Best lens cleaner?

[JoelSim]

I think my dvd player could do with a lens clean. Any suggestions?

Compressed air (keyboard cleaner) and a vacuum cleaner. Otherwise pure alcohol on a cotton bud 🙂

Would lighter fluid work? Or vinegar?

 

[True Blue]

NO. Lol

You have already set fire to your speakers. Please don't flamb‚ the rest of the system

The speakers didn't catch fire. There is a small mark on top of one of them where a bit of flambeed paper fell on it. Otherwise they are tip top.

One of those disc things with the little brushes on, Mine plays about 40 seconds of Mozart while it does the business. Little carbon fibre brushes sweep the lens clean, no fluids and no worries. It just works. I bought mine at Bristol show, but I believe they are available from places like Russ Andrews.

I don't know what makes you think the player needs a lens clean but unless it skips it probably does'nt. When/if it skips I'd have it dealer serviced.

Just buy a Blu-ray player already

... just to elaborate. I used one of those brush discs and it got stuck/wouldn't eject for ages. The players tray/mechanism had to be serviced after as it kept teasing me by opening ... then closing just as I was about to place the disc and ... vice versa, opening and immediately closing again. You needed reactions like a fighter pilot.

You don't recommend it's done annually? only when it's needed....
