CD Player Laser Lens
The CD player laser lens can collect dust, dirt, and smoke. These deposits can cause various intermittent problems
that may, in time, become more severe. To avoid these problems, we recommend that you clean the laser lens
occasionally. This interval can be as often as every other month, or less in some locations. Follow this procedure
to safely clean the laser lens:
1. Remove loose particles from the lens by gently brushing it with a camel’s hair brush or a blow brush (both items
can be purchased at most camera supply stores). Brush in the direction of the arrows shown in Figure 3-3 .
Take care not to snag brush bristles under the lens. The lens is mounted on a delicate suspension spring that
may be damaged with even a soft brush.
2. Remove any remaining dirt by placing one to three drops of Kodak Lens Cleaner (Kodak Catalog Number
176 7136, available from photographic supply stores or Rowe 21966601) on a lint-free “Q”-Tip and very
gently wiping dust and smoke deposits from the lens. Wipe in the direction of the arrows shown in
Figure 3-3.
Take care not to damage the delicate lens suspension spring. Do not allow any of the lens cleaner to run down
the side of the lens.
NOTE:
Before you clean the laser lens, be sure to turn the jukebox power OFF and ground
yourself by touching a grounded component (such as the BA) to discharge any static
buildup that may harm the CD player.
