| 847.1 | a damp cloth... | DSSDEV::STRANGE | Being for the benefit of Mr. Kite | Thu Aug 06 1987 11:43 | 10 |
| I don't think the CD cleaners are necessary. I haven't had any
problems in the two years I've been collecting CDs. A damp cloth
(with alcohol, if necessary) should clean a disc as well as any fancy
cleaner. As far as the laser lens, I'm not sure. I'd say don't
question it as long as it works. I think you can get cleaner discs
that will clean off the lens, but I haven't needed one yet. Actually,
a can of dust-off (refrigerant) would probably suffice for any dust
that would get on the lens.

| I've played hundreds of discs on my player over the last couple
of years, and never had a problem that required more than blowing
on the disc and re-inserting it. I think all the fancy disc and
laser cleaners are just the inevitable attempts to create markets
for products that nobody needs.
You can clean the disc with a damp cloth. Just be sure that you're
wiping motion goes from the center outward. Never wipe in circles
around the disc. Otherwise, you risc making fine scratches that
run parallel to the data tracks.

| This then as I thought. Another marketing plow to empty our
wallets. Great. I'm glad I asked.
I consume dust off at industrial levels cleaing camera equipment,
so I've always got a can hanging around. I've never had to
clean off the lens but I'm sure eventually I'll want to do this
with a quick blast of air.
Thanks guys.

I knew it was just another marketing plow! Probably meant for the magnetic
fields inside the CD.

| 847.6 | The lens is not impossible to clean | CTHULU::YERAZUNIS | VAXstation Repo Man | Wed Aug 12 1987 14:54 | 9 |
| I did manage to get some crud on my lens, while fixing the worn
worm-gear inside my D-7.
Rubbing alcohol and a Q-tip worked fine. I'm listening to the repaired
player even as I type.
Just be gentle, folks. It probably is pretty delicate. Certainly
a multicoat lens as well, so don't try and scrub it clean.

In light of this you might consider using Kodak lens cleaning solution
and a Q-tip next time. Some rubbing alcohols might leave a residue
while this lens cleaner does not. You will find it at your local
camera shop for about $2.00/bottle.
