I want to clean my compact CD player

Get a CD Optic Cleaning disc. It has small brushes that clean the optics. The tracking laser is lower power and a little bit of dust will make it so that it can't read the tracks.

The clicking is the lens assembly attempting to focus on the CD. If you can get to the optics assembly, clean the lens using a cotton swab and alcohol. The accumulation of dust or dirt can cause this. Try that and update this if it fails to resolve the problem.

Thanks,

Hello

Clean your CDs before and after playing them. Although the compact disc has a much longer lifespan than does something like a cassette tape, it can be more fragile. Scratches, dust or other damage to the data side of the CD will cause many CD players to fail to read the CD or cause the CD to skip.

Examine the type and format of the compact disc if your CD player fails to read it. Verify that your CD player can read the type of CD and the files contained on it. Just because you've burned a collection of songs to a CD, for example, doesn't mean that your CD player will be able to recognize that information. You must burn CDs in a specially formatted "Audio CD" mode to play them on a CD player, or your CD player must be able to recognize the MP3 file format. Some CD players have limitations on the type of CD they can read. Verify that your CD player can read CD-R, CD+R, CD-RW or CD+RW compact discs.

Update your CD player's driver, if your CD player is a drive connected to your computer. Click "Start" and select "Control Panel." Click on "Hardware and Sound" and select "Device Manager" under "Devices and Printers." Right-click the icon for your CD drive and select "Update driver software." This may solve any issues the drive was having with playing CDs.

The water boiling could indicate the motor getting too hot. Remove the seperator and clean it with a wire brush. Then wipe out the inside to get the dust out. Let it sit a while then try it. Chris

You could try opening the unit by UN-screwing it.

Checking the inside for dust on tracks or rollers. Opening it up and checking if any gel might be warned away and this might cause grinding and if dust builds up the smooth operation would be unsuitable for unit. Cd unit needs to be cleaned and sometimes manual but without disturbing too much gel inside.

Mot of the time if my player grinds maybe a rubber is broken and needs to be replaced.

Most cd player are built close to each other. But single alone units might require just some logical thinking to solve.

Suggestions-

1.check for dust.
2.check for bad alignment.
3. if can do- turn on and see it grind to solve the problem.

The optic inside the CD player may be dirty or damp, this is the part that reads the data from the cd, you can try cd cleaning discs or you may have get an engineer to open it and clean it with an alcohol swab. The optic could also be faulty which will be cheaper to buy a new cd player.

Let me start out by saying what not to use: Don't use the cleaning CDs that you can buy. Most of those have tiny brushes on them that could scratch the optics inside your CD player and make things worse. Your Denon CD player and similar pro grade DJ CD decks are a higher precision player than the average consumer CD player that those things are marketed towards.

Your solutions are these:

1. Find a vacuum cleaner with decent suction and use the hose attachment remove any dust or other debris that may be lodged inside the player by running the hose around the entire player (you'd be surprised where dust can lodge (and from where it can be dislodged).
2. You can use canned air... but two caveats: Canned air doesn't necessarily move the debris and occasionally when spraying it, you get bursts of moisture with the air. Obviously moisture inside your playe would be a bad thing.
3. Take your player to a reputable electronics repair facility and have it professionally cleaned and the optics adjusted.

I keep a microfibre cloth with me in the DJ booth and look at every CD before I put it inside my players (I have DN-S3500s) and if there's any grime, I use the cloth to remove it.

This type of vacuum is not designed to vacuum up sheetrock
dust or pieces of sheetrock. The dust from sheetrock is so fine it will clog the vacuum bag, filters and possible the motor

So change the bag, use an air hose to blow out the motor area and
the hoses make sure that air hose has in line filter to catch moisture

Could the debris from plaster sanding cause my rainbow series D4C vacuum not to work? If so how is the best way to clean it?

Hello,
I would advise you to ALWAYS to FIRST UNPLUG YOUR VACUUM before beginning any service procedure. The Rainbow D4C will still work but not @ the highest efficiency rating – the suction will be reduced because the sheetrock dust gets into the motor and the fan blade(s) Quan 3 and would need a professional cleaning 1st or 2nd. Replacement of the motor; if it is too serious and or too expensive. It’s a good vacuum back it is suggested that people use a good Shop Vac for the sheetrock dust removal. Feel free to contact your local vacuum cleaner dealer in your area or you can try to repair and change out the fans, clean out the carbon brush area and cleanup the armature. So if you need further assistance, please feel free to contact your local vacuum cleaner dealer in your area or in the yellow pages, or contact the factory phone number or website to further assist you with your questions.
