Marc asked:
: I never got a cleaner, how often do you find it necessary to do?
Simon answered,
| From what I've read, the answer seems to be: NEVER. Just say no.
That was the caution for *lens* cleaners. Their bristles can, many people
say, damage the lens. It is not the case for head cleaners, which are non-
abrasive, but they don't seem to accomplish anything anyway.
Jim responded,
| The consensus is don't use a head cleaner because you risk damaging the
| unit. THe laser lens is plastic. It isn't built like a magnetic head
| on a tape machine and shouldn't contact the disc. If you bought a head
| cleaner, your best bet is to throw it away. Only use it as a last
| resort, just before you take it in to be repaired.
Jim, I think you're confusing lens cleaners with head cleaners. Head
cleaners don't touch the lens, and the *record* head does touch the disc
(the playback head does not and should never need cleaning).
