My DVD player is over a year old, but barely used.
Lately when I try to watch a DVD it stops and won't begin again. Even if I shut it down, restart and go to the scene, I can't get it to play. So I"m thinking maybe there's dirt somewhere?
If you have a suggestion I'd love to hear it. Thanks!

I use my CD cleaner on my DVD player with no ill effects.
As for your problem, I'd try playing a music CD on it and see if that will play all the way. If it doesn't then I'd suspect something wrong with the mechanism that moves the laser assembly.

the reason you could no longer play a DVD in a CD participant is all the way down to the version in information skill between the two. A CD can save around 700MB and a DVD 4.7GB, provide or take somewhat. the two disks use very comparable shape in that those and zeros interior the digital information are saved as pits interior the reflective layer of the disk. using fact the two disks are the comparable length you will discover that to save a lot extra information on a DVD the pits would be very a lot smaller than on a CD. they're additionally saved in a ring formation spanning out from the centre of the disk. for the comparable reason a DVD has the ring development extra tightly packed than a CD. So in a DVD the laser has to concentration right into a a lot smaller dot on the exterior of the disk. additionally the motor that drives the laser around the disk because it performs has to step in smaller increments than a CD. So in case you place a DVD in a CD participant the laser will concentration on countless pits somewhat than in basic terms one. additionally it can not step around the exterior of the disk wisely to song the pits wisely. So all it sees is an entire mush it incredibly is mindless to it. and that's without speaking with regard to the various way the sound is saved on a DVD. in spite of if a CD participant could make experience of the information circulate it maximum possibly does no longer be waiting to extract the audio information nor turn it right into a recognisable sound. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

If you have a CD cleaner use that. They both work with lasers so it doesn't matter.
