DVD-LC DVD Lens Cleaner, One Size

With so much streaming these days, I rarely watch anything on DVD. But I had a friend over who'd never seen Miller's Crossing, one of my favorite Coen Brothers films. On playback, the sounds was so low I had to crank up the audio to 100, which resulted in terrible distortion. The next day. I went out looking for a DVD legs cleaner. Seems like DVD is now obsolete technology; no audio stores had them. So, I turned to Amazon. There were several choice, but since Maxell had been one of my favorite blank cassette brands back in the day, this is what I ordered. The operating cues on the TV were clear (and the music OK). When I tried Miller's Crossing again, I was able to dial back the audio by 2/3 and it was much cleaner. Worked as expected.

Works as advertised. I would recommend this item.

I not giving up my dvd and cd player because I still listen to music and watch movies. The disk is easy to use for cleaning, and it works.

It saved my Blu-Ray burner. It was misreading discs and couldn't burn any, but after cleaning, it works great. Thanks!

I hope this review is helpful. I have a DVD player in my minivan. Never had any problems as I stopped using it for about six months because my daughters are on their phones. When I just put a dvd in the DVD player it was not working. You can hear the dvd player trying to read the dvd but the dvd is not playing. On the display it says “error” and “wrong format.” I remember years ago when I had a VCR and the VHS tapes were not clear when playing a tape it was because the VCR needed to be “cleaned.” I had purchased a VHS cleaning tape. You just pop it in the VCR, press play and let it play for about 20-30 seconds and it would “clean” the VCR. After doing this, watching the VHS tapes became clear. This is where I got the idea to see if there was a DVD cleaning disc. After seeing a good review, I purchased this one. I put it in my car DVD player. The word Menu popped up on the display. I pressed play and the DVD was playing and it stopped on its own after about 3-5 minutes signaling that the cleaning is complete. I then put a DVD in the player and it worked. This saved me hundreds of dollars if I had taken it to a dealer. Very pleased!

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).

I AM SICK OF PROTECTIVE PLASTIC 'PEELINGS' ON PRODUCTS AND EQUIPMENT!!! Every single item lately HAS NOT WORKED until I found the small, almost unnoticed piece of protective coatings. Ridiculous! Leftover plastic on this DVD Cleaner caused it NOT WORK and I should return them! I read the directions! NOTHING STATES REMOVE THIS BEFORE USE except the small unnoticed plastic on the disc....I insert into a server, get a speaker to hear the CD and.... it wouldn't launch and it would not recognize the disc! Great, I tried it in another system and same...defective until I CLOSELY examined the disc and ....It had a small label on the spindle I could not see, a 'protective covering' once removed, it worked but it still would not automatically launch. I'm tired of manufacturers doing this!

Was good to use

Cumplió su cometido. Buena marca.

works great

Buen producto pues limpia muy bien la lente del blu ray.

product helped me to clean up my blueray player and my games consoles.

Pas encore utilisé . Mais je connais la marque MAXELL depuis quarante années , ils commercialisent des cassettes audio d'excellente qualité . C'est ce critère de confiance qui a déterminé mon choix quant à mon choix de cette marque , parmi plusieurs autres , pour ce disque de nettoyage . De plus les avis des clients satisfaits ont en quelque sorte validé mon choix.
