Maxell DVD-LC DVD Lens Cleaner, One Size

Cleaned my DVD recorder lens after one pass. LifeSaver for my electronics. Good price and easy to use.

Some of my CD's were no longer playing to the dynamic range I used to hear on my Samsung Blu-Ray DVD player. In particular, horns were sounding a bit tinny. Running this cleaner through the player twice restored the range.

Easy to use

Unfortunately most folks don't recognize the importance of maintaining CD/DVD disc drives. I've always put my trust in Maxell products, while there are many 3rd party products, I've always believed in trusting my valuable players to a trusted name. the only cases where this product did not work is in cases where there is already severe damage to the player heads. In general with routing cleaning this is a superb product, make sure you buy the right one for your device. Brush configurations differ appropriately

Works great. I thought I was going to have to buy a new DVD players.

Not sure what is going on with this DVD Lens Cleaner. I have three DVD Players and this product does not work in any of them! In one case the DVD Player came up with a "No Disc" indicator whilst the other two players showed a "CD Error" Message. I have now noticed that some other purchasers have also experienced compatibility issues with this Lens Cleaner and this review consequently confirms the problem.

DO NOT PICK AT THE 3 LITTLE BUMPS ON THE PLAYING SURFACE. The Maxell 190050 DVD cleaner came quickly. I opened it up & found no directions written inside the case. Dust cover paper said instructions on rear; so after some tugging, I got the paper out & looked at its back for directions. The DVD enclosed had 3 little bumps on the playing surface, which looked like defects in some plastic surface. So I mistakenly picked at them to smooth them out. But that may have damaged the micro cleaning brushes. They don't look like brushes, but tiny defect bumps on a plastic film surface. Directions say to replace product when brush (singular) becomes visibly worn. I don't see any brush anywhere. I thought maybe it was missing until I noticed on the front dust cover it says, "3 Super fine microfiber brushes." So I figure those 3 bumps must be brushes, but I haven't got out a microscope to look to see if they in fact look like brushes. I ran the disc as directed. The disk played & showed directions on screen and video pictures with a menu of choice: like 1) clean disc 2) check L audio speaker , 23 check R audio speaker , etc. So my DVD player was working to the extent that I could see this menu & heard the classical musical background & watch stuff like clouds floating, plants & insects in a video, while it supposedly was cleaning. But when I got thru on first run, my DVD player would still not play my video DVDs. But then after running the cleaner about 3X, I could now play my DVDs. But after running the disc around 20X, it still would not write on the discs, that is, I still could not record onto a DVD. It could be my fault for not reading the dust cover carefully and having picked at the bumps. But I am next going to try Memorex which advertises 6 brushes, but costs a lot more. Of course if the cleaning does not result in fixing your DVD player / recorder, that proves nothing, since there may be some other malfunction causing your player/ recorder not to work (for example, you might have a bad capacitor on a circuit board). Thus I wish I could make this review "Comments Only," but you have to assign stars to post a review. My main beef is lack of warning on the bumps when you open the case. There should be a piece of paper or warning on disc that says, LEAVE THE 3 BUMPS ON THE DVD ALONE; they are tiny cleaning brushes. UPDATE: I bought the Memorex LASER LENS CLEANER FOR DVD ( 32028015 ) after the Maxell did not restore burn/record ability. The Memorex has more microbrushes that the Maxell. After ~ 1 minute of cleaning, the Memorex restored the DVD burner/recorder so that I could now copy titles off my hard drive to my dvd drive (Pioneer DVR).

Ok

Cumplió su cometido. Buena marca.

good product

I have 2 CD players and both mis-track. I foolishly thought a DVD cleaner could also clean a CD player lens. WRONG! The CD player doesn't even recognise the disc. I haven't tried it on my DVD player (which works fine). In good conscience, I can't return it as faulty seeing it was I that was faulty. Lesson learned.

runs great, don't loose it if it's not for you. this and another the lazer runs your movies like a dream

Did I get old stock? Not effective alas.
