Matrix. I too was worried about damaging my lense so when I read in UHF magazine that they use somthing called "Perfect Image CD lens cleaner", I ordered one for about $30.00 CDN. I was having some skipping once in a while as it had never been cleaned . The skipping went away but could not hear a difference sonicly. I used it my car cd player and kind of bent the little brushes. Being thrifty , read cheap, I did not to fork out another thirty so soon, So next time im my local multi-function drugstore I bought a similar product for about $8.00. They look similar ie. both have tiny little soft brushes ,although in a different layout, but both are made in China. The second one is from by a company called Allsop and calls it self a CD laser lens cleaner. It claims to do CD,DVD and Game players. I can't hear a difference after I use it but I have never had a disk skip since. So like Bob Bundas above I use it once in a while just as maintence. Hope this helps. Cheers steve
Suggestions for CD Lens Cleaner?
I am just trying to find out if there are any improvements of using a disk that cleans the lens in cd players, I dont know if it would scratch the lens or even help. If they are good please let me know which one to buy, I own a very expensive cd player so I may not want to play around with such a thing unless it is safe, please good quality suggestions. THANKS Ps-I just figure I take very good care of my cds as not to get dirt in the player in the first place,however there is no way of keeping out all dust so I want to treat the laser as well if it will help. I have no problem with cd playback im just tweaky and want to take good care of the equipment.
