Just a final note on the MD Lens Cleaner discussion - I've had the
opportunity of checking out a Sony MD-6LCL lens cleaning MD in the flesh.
It looks like a pre-recorded MD - shutter on one side only. You insert the
thing in the MD unit and press track 2, and it beeps when the job is done.

Yes, the record head sits on the disc surface, lubed by a small drop of
silicon grease...

Hi. Now there is also head cleaner. Although the lens doesn't not touch the MD,
doesn't the head actually make contact?

The cleaner has bristles for whisking dust or such off the lens, but the
bristles can scratch the lens itself, doing worse damage.
maintenance thing? i've never
used one yet but am curious so i dont go doing something stupid.

I say don't clean it unless it doesn't work right. Leave the lens
cleaners on the shelf at the store. IMHO of course.

Hi all,
I'm wondering if it is worth while to invest in a lens cleaner. Most of them
claim to inprove the playback and recording quality. Has anyone tried using
any type of lens cleaner disk? Do they work?

Hi Marc,

The main issue is, don't use one regularly like an oil change. Use it if
you have to because of a problem, but dont't use it onece a week or once
a month for that matter. IMHO.

It has been discussed on this list that lens cleaners are dangerous. With
the MD, the consensus seemed to be, do not use them.
Any thoughts on using a CD Disc cleaner to solve some CD player and burner
problems?
One CD player skips sporadically, perhaps a random 15-30 seconds then a
skip. A b

So far, I have avoided buying the $20 lens-cleaning disk for my Sharp 722
MD recorder. However, I find myself using the recorder a lot, so my
questions are:
How important is it to use a lens cleaner? How often should the lens be
cleaned?
Thanks in advance,
Paul
