The cleaning process took maybe 3 seconds. They had two ones available, and I got the more expensive one ($19.95) because the cleaper one did not say it was also for DVDs. This afternoon I went to Radio Shack and picked up a CD/DVD lens cleaner.
I posted last night after yet another frustrating attempt to watch a DVD. Posted on Monday, J22:27 GMT Hello Everyone. I think the absolute alcohol is the best because it is a mild solvent for oily substance and will evaporated quickly and leave nothing behind. All commercial cleaner for disc or lens are basically alcohol. I don't know if regular people can buy such laboratory analytical grade alcohol other than try to ask friends working in the chem. Do not use those denatured or diluted kinds because they have additive and may left more residue on the surface and make thing worse. When cleaning, you should use the 200 proof, absolute alcohol. All I have to do is pick the dog hair out the recess where red light been projected out and read back. Very often, the optical mouse cursor will behave funny, skipping and jumping. I have a white English Setter dog shed like crazy. pet hairs, may attach themselves to the lens surface through static. It may has very thin film of something not visible by human eye, such as solvent evaporated from cheap printing ink (packaging materials), or platicizer out of plastic wrapping, that might distorted the laser beam. If it is not clean between lens and disc surface, then it has the potential for trouble. My thinking is that higher density of data were packed into DVD, and it probably has less tolerance for error. After I pull it out and let it air dry another second or two. One of them, I drop back into the tray before the alcohol evaporate, the player then display an error message saying "read error" then "no disc". The disc playback skip did not happen again. I wipe them both with absolute alcohol and tried again. One was Enemy At Gate, bought new and the other was Catch Me If You Can, bought as previous viewed from rental place. There is only two disc had playback skip problem. After playback over 100 DVD movies (out of 300 in my collection). I decide to give it a try since it seems it is a common problem. However, after reading more complains about other model/brand of DVD players. It got me worried and thinking that I should return it before warranty expire. It seems it has a lot of complain about playback skip. After I made the purchase, before I received the shipment, I read a review thread regarding this player. I bought a HK DVD50 from HK on eBay sold as remanufactured unit. Posted on Monday, J18:30 GMT Well, I will just add some of my experience here.
