Can I Use Lens Cleaner Cd In Manual For The

Another reason manufacturers would not like us to use CD lens cleaner is that the brush might be loose -- the side it sticks to the CD is set hard by the adhesive -- causing abrasion.

One of those discs which has the brushes that sweeps the lens clean, presumably, when you go from a certain track to another.

Ive always assumed they were a no-brainer type device and made perfect sense.

Dust accumulates over time and would undoubtedly build up over the lens, brushes sweep it away.

No-brainer. But I was idly reading through the manual for the Marantz 6003 and it said something like We do not recommend the use of a lens cleaner.

Does anyone know why Or whether lens cleaners are in fact bad, or harmful, or even do nothing whatsoever I dont know if they were referring to the brush type disc I use, or liquid cleaning devices, which I never use anyway.

Any ideas.

I tend to take the cd case off and use a lightly moistened cotton bud to gently wipe the cd lens.

This should be done gently to reduce the risk of scratching the lens.

I think they say they do not recomend them as they may scratch the lens as they are spinning quite fast.

Also it may be the case that they may become stuck in the cd playerloose brissles inside etc.

The one I had wasnt even totally flat and would wobble hope this helps.

Pop the cover, gentle wipe of the cotton bud, swap ends and wipe till dry, preventing film residue build up from the liquid.

Also they just sweep the dust down in to the laser where it cannot be got rid of at all.

Just leave a disc in at all times so the dust settles on it rather than the lens and dust the outer of the player on a regular basis.

Im getting a new player in a few days and plan to keep it covered with a (clean obviously) dishcloth when not in use - same for the amp - to avoid dust when not in use.

REALLY I suspect that most CD maker recommend you dont use a disk type lens cleaner.

So, what they really want is for you to not use the lens cleaner within the warranty period.

Lets consider how often you need to use the lens cleaner I suspect you can find people here who have had the same CD or DVD player for 10 years or more and have never cleaned it, and it still works fine.

So, not that much dust is accumulating inside the player on the assumption the disks themselves are clean.

So, the use of a lens cleaner every couple years is probably not going to do much to damage the equipment.

However, if you are cleaning every week or month, that wear can accumulate very quickly.

However, dust will accumulate as air is drawn in by the spinning motion as well as fine dust particles collecting during rest.

Placing a CD inside while not in use is one option, but it does not prevent dust particles suspended in air gradually settling on the lens.

Even the recommended engineers would have to use some tool -- I guess it would be a fine brush or a cotton bud as pressurised air canister would further push dust particles in and a vacuum would be risky.
