This is a DVD group.

We don' need no stinking heads!

Much less head cleaners.

Are ALL of you WebTV dopes sub 40 IQ idiots?

**There are no "heads" in DVD recorders.

Unless the OP made the honest mistake of confusing head cleaning with lens
cleaning.
What type of idiot wouldn't recognise that?

Except that they do not need that operation either. What part of "No

understand?

Also, what idiot would think that a spinning scrub pad disc would
perform the function?

So, since it requires opening the case of the device to perform the
lens cleaning PROPERLY, one should consider the cancellation of one's
warranty when considering such a move. Much less the fact that if one
needs to ask such a question as this, one has no business inside the case
of such a device to begin with.

In other words, without familiarity with the device in question, what
makes you think that a mere layman user could perform a professional
level service task on a precision optical device?

Oh... that's right... you bought the "cleaning disc".

It would present no more of an "attraction" than any other element of
the device, and it would NOT be a "cleaner disc" serviceable task. It
has to be manually cleaned with the case of the player OPEN.

Also, if it is playing ANY discs, then it is NOT "dirty".

My laser disc player lasted 18 years and the failure was a power supply
failure.

It NEVER had ANY lens cleaning event, and it NEVER failed to track a
disc, and they were 12", so there was more dust around too!

It is more likely just a shit brand, and we all know that one gets what
one pays for.

Even more retarded. A burner drive (recorder) would burn a dust
particle off of the surface of its lens.

They need cleaning even less often.

Mine:

LaserDisc player: 18 years, never cleaned, always worked.

About fifty PC 5.25" form factor CD readers, and never needed cleaning.

Back then most read failures were due to a sagging lens suspension that
moved the lens outside the range that the lens positioner could manage it
within.

DVD era:

About 30 players, none of which have ever needed cleaning.

HDDVD: Never in what four years.

BluRay: 4 players and all work just fine and get used daily.

Conclusion, dopes like you exhibit paranoia and make assessments about
the status of a piece of hardware, even though it is outside the realm of
your ability to grasp how it operates.

Sure... a store is going to try to relieve you of some of your wallet
thickness. That is what they do.

That doesn't mean that what they are trying to sell you doesn't fall
into the "snake oil" category.

My "put down attempt?" Awwww, should I get you a binky? You should change
your revolving screen name to "a.v.dvd crybaby." HA!

You're the object of ridicule from anyone bothering to read and reply to

Ridicule? Hahahaha.. I am doing fine, retard boy. You don't see me in
here asking absolutely retarded questions. We DO see you in here giving
absolutely retarded answers to those retarded questions that those
retards ask, however.

In fact, I don't think I have ever seen you providing anyone with any
worthwhile assistance that was worth a shit. That pretty much makes you
a retarded, characterless wuss.

The Mighty Retarded TB is a goddamned retard. Nothing more. Never will
be anything more... never was anything more.

His fucktard parents are the real prize though. They are the retarded
motherfucking bastards that didn't flush the sub-human piece of shit that
the Mighty Retarded TB is, and they are criminals for not flushing the TB
piece of shit, the moment that retarded bitch shat you out of her

Speaking of "spread," I hear your mommy mastered that art with most of the
