Steps
- Remove any discs from the DVD player. These will likely get jammed if you forget to remove them.
- Unplug the DVD player from the mains and your TV, and remove it from its stand/case etc.
- Take a damp cloth and rub it gently across the top, front, and sides of your DVD player. NEVER wipe down the back of your DVD Player.
- If the back or underside of your DVD player is dirty, use a dry cloth to gently rub around all the ports and screws etc.
- Reconnect up the DVD player to the mains and TV.
- Now play through your 'lens cleaning disc'. This will gently remove any dirt inside the DVD player mechanism. This may take a while.
- You're done! You can now enjoy your movies a little bit more by knowing that your DVD player is clean.
