It is a Beocenter AV5. I tried it with a cotton bud and alcohol. I did not help at all!!

I totally think it is something more serious than a dirty lens....:-(

Which CD player is it? The simplest way to clean the lens is with a cotton bud and some alcohol. You also get to see how dirty it is. The 5500/6500/7000 need to have the casing removed to get to it.

Thanx for your advice! I will try to get one of those lens cleaner disc. I hope it will help.

Do you know what it could be if this cleaner does not help??

Regards.

Purchase or borrow a lens cleaner disc and try it first. You can find these things really cheap at many stores. They usually get the job done well. However, you may need to clean the lens manually if the store-bought cleaner fails.

Use a cotton swab and some isopropyl alcohol to gently wipe the lens. Just a quick scrub will do. Dry the laser pickup lens with the other end of the swab.

Give the lens a few seconds to dry and replace the covering of the DVD player. Test the efficiency of the player. If necessary, repeat the process.

Of course it may not be dirty lens problem at all but something more serious, but it's worth a try.
