daveman Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 Hey y'all. try to make this short...would like to say I really like the MD format!!! I just bought a used car that has the MDX-C5970 deck. Talked him into giving up a few disc's to get me started... works great. I have been doing tons of research for a head cleaner for this unit. I also need to tell you I just ordered the home deck model ????-?480. (because I thought all the portables were to expensive and frankly, I don't need it to be portable, I just wanted the 480 to record for the car deck.) ANYWAY...I've seen the MD-6LCL and the MD-8HCL, I know one does the head, and the other the lens. it's my understanding that I should not use either in the car? therefore what do I use for the 5970????? Is there such a cleaner disc for the car??? Or do I have to clean it's head(s) by hand...if by hand then how and with what type of solution? where to buy the cleaner disc, etc... THANKS FOR YOUR TIME !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sector001 Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 why do u need a cleaner, does your car MD player not work? if it's not broken, why mess it up. those cleaners may do more harm than good. if your car deck plays regular MD's, then the lens cleaner should work. i have never needed or used a MD cleaner before.

I am merely trying to do some preventitive maintenance. Does anyone know of such a (cleaning) disc? I talked to a sales rep @ "CRUTCHFIELD" who told me not to use the home disc's in the car...and most other web sites say the same.thanks. P.S.

Why not? Everything I throw in my car's Sony MDX-CA6080X plays fine. 74/80, SP/LP2/LP4, they all work in the car. Am I missing something here? (Wouldn't be first time!) Or does it just apply to the cleaning discs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveman Posted May 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 to sector001...sorry man! I thought that was a picture of you! to bluecrab...no, no just the cleaner disc, not a playable disc. Like I said...just hoping to do some preventitive maintenance, If all the research I've done says NOT to use the MD-6LCL/MD-8HCL in the car, then I won't !!! I spose if the car deck starts F'in up, I will worry about it then? I am still waiting to receive my home deck (SONY-model #MDSJE480) from AMAZON, does it matter if I record/play a HI-MD disc in what I think is a standard MD recorder/player? or is it just a waste of time and money??? thanks y'all...I'll check back later...........
