Post subject: Cleaning the lens on a Laserdisc player Posted: 31 Dec 2011, 09:20 |
|
Is it ok (and beneficial) to use a cd/DVD cleaner (the sort with little brushes that you put a drop of alcohol on) in my Pioneer cld-d925 laserdisc player?

That should be just fine for LD and I've used one before with no problems. All you are doing is just brushing any dust/debris off the lens.
I don't even use alcohol (I don't like using it on coated plastics) and had good results on all types of laser.

Thanks I won't clean it then, I used to smoke but that was before I bought a laserdisc player and the original owner didn't smoke either I was asking because the cleaner did sort out my DVD recorder which was reading but not writing discs... That was around when I used to smoke tho

In another words these cleans will not work on a LD player. The LD Lens cleaner I have has bristles. One of the bristles is colored so you know where to put a drop of the cleaning solution.

I can recommend this disc cleaner for any player that plays DVDs. Totally bristlesless it just creates a wind tunnel. Too bad it can't clean CD lenses. But this won't actually clean the LD/CD lens on an LD player, as they use two different lenses for the LD/CD operation, and the DVD operation. http://www.amazon.com/Maxell-BR-LC-Blu- ... 371&sr=8-1

What now ? Don't use any CD cleaner or anything like that, these are not record players and since they have no contact you don't need to clean on any regular basis. While they do get dirty you can clean one but never with any disc cleaners. Use something very mild, even alcohol can remove a special film on some lasers. Do some google and search it up. Cleaning wrong can mess up your laser and you will be out the entire player.

LD's spin at a few thousand RPM and create plenty of wind to keep the laser lens clean. Otherwise it you really want to clean open the unit and take rein-o's advise Thanks but you do know more than me with repairs, I just hate to see people ruin their players for nothing.
