Smoke and DVD


Hi Audioners,

I have many times expressed a pOpblem of ny DVD players eventuaally edither stoppng play, not recocnizing the the disc or just refusinf tO plAY (GIVING SOME ERROr code) I have expressed this problem many times on this forum anD always seem to come to the same conclusion, no-one is listening to the problem. My Problem----- SOMETIMES A DVD WILL PLAY-----SOMETIMES IT WILL NOT---It has nothing to do with the format that the DVD was recorded at (as most replies seem to address) tO me it seem's that most likely the fault lies in the fact that I smoke . I can only assume from the repeated problems from many DVD players thaht the problem lies with me. I'm thinking that ciggarette smoke can build up on the optics of a DVD player and cause nit to not be able to read some discs (at least SOME of them on occassion) Please do not be so damm stupid as to respond to this query as to tell me that I should discs, My player UDED to play ALL the disc's as did my Denon Player--They both just seem to not recognize certain discs now. It has nothing nto do with the format with which they were redcorded. The player will sometimes play a disc that it pteviously failed to recognize, and sometimes the exact opposite will happen. Am I making nmyself clear? It is not the format , I am asking about the ability of a unit to play musically, no matter what the formst. I dondn't understan anything about ther formats--- I lust want good sound

Thanks

Steve

Why don't you just clean your DVDs and your laser lens and find out for sure? Personally, I don't think your smoking is the problem, unless of course you're blowing smoke right into the player or onto the surface of your DVDs.

And get yourself a new keyboard for Christmas!
Happy Holiday
Have you tried cleaning the laser lens? Get some tape head cleaning fluid and a Q Tip. Or, buy a liquid disc type cleaner. Of course it would be best for you and your equipment not to smoke. Besides, it makes everything smell bad.
i'll skip the lecture on smoking but you can clean your laser real easy,get a bottle of rubbbing alcohol & a few q tips,after you clean the laser take a clean chamios & wipe off any left over residue.

you may need to take apart the lid to the laser housing but that's no biggie plus you get a nice little suprise,a warning lable telling you not to look directly into the laser while it's powered up,duh!

Get a new dvd player, cdp, and as Nsgarch suggested a new keyboard. Oh yeah, and quit freakin smoking. Any other questions?
Merry Christmas.
Dude you must be smoking some good $hit, cause you can't even type. No wonder your DVD player is confused. No, for real man, you got to stop smoking this stuff or next your TV will be showing something totally wicked and you'll be posting to complain about that. LOL. Happy Holidays!!!
