how do you clean dvd recorder lenses? |
|
|
I have just been reading thru my manual for my Philips DVD recorder and it
says not to use any of the DVD cleaning disks available because the
recorder's lens may be damaged. just wondering how the lens can be cleaned
in that case, would it need to be taken to a specialist to be done?
thanks

We're not talking about an industrial cutting laser, or a medical
laser, or a Dr. Evil "laser" here. The lasing diodes in a CD/DVD
burner are relatively low power. Enough to cause retinal damage if
you're stupid enough to stare directly at the lens aperture long
enough when it's on, but that's about it. None of the lasing diodes
puts out enough power to vapourize anything.

Uhh.. Have another look at the OP's nym.
IMMAS MARTASS = IMM A SMARTASS...
This nutcase has been cruising through dozens (perhaps hundreds) of
newsgroups and trolling every one of them.
This kook obviously has a LOT of time on his hands. I speculate it's
because he recently lost his job because he didn't stay on his
anti-pschotic medication.

A cd/dvd burner burns at a VERY high temperature, thats why the disc is warm
when it ejects. With a reg cdrom, cd player, etc a lens cleaner IS
recommended, but for a burner, the temp is high enough that you wont need
anything. ask the people who have been burning cds on home computers for
years, they can vouch, and so can I!
Dont listen to half of these nimrods!

Does anyone EVER need to clean a CD/DVD lens? I never have. Perhaps some
ppeople work in a dirty environment, and airborne contamination could be a
problem. But in a typical home or office environment, all we have is dust.
And that has never caused me problems. I've only seen one drive failure on
my personal machines, and that was a case of dead electronics (drive would
not respond) ... not a lens problem.
So ... work in a clean environment, and forget about the lens. Or, clean up
your environment. Wash the peanut butter off your hands before handling
CD/DVD media.
If you must operate a CD/DVD drive in a coal mine or similar environment,
well that's a different matter. But I suspect that most
how-do-I-clean-the-lens requests come from people who create their own
contamination problems, or who don't really have lens problems at all. |

Thanks for that info. But a question...
Does anyone know if the Panasonic DVD Recorders have more than one
lens? Since you can play and record at the same time I'm wondering if
there is maybe one lens that is used for recording and another that is
used for playback?

I've seen a few DVD players and CD ROM drives come back to life after a shot
of compressed air (from an aerosol dust remover spray can). I'd be careful
doing this though. I imagine the pressure might bend something or blow a
spring loose, if over done. Anyway, I'm convinced that accumulated dust can
cause problems.

Re: how do you clean dvd recorder lenses? HERE'S ONE SOLUTIO |
|
|
Mike,
I have a product that almost instantly made two DVD players come back to
life. They had been skipping and/or not playing at all. It's a DVD disk with
some nice setup test bands, but is has a section with several little bristle
brushes sticking up. I should say that you should never touch these brushes
so you don't get oil from your fingers on them.
Like others have said. These lasers are too delicate to mess with, but this
thing worked for me. I picked it up at Best Buy.
