ibanez Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 The instructions on the cleaner include pressing the REC button to clean the magnetic head,however my NetMD player does not have a REC button, can only record from PC --->MD Can anyone offer any suggestions ?Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sector001 Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 maybe press play instead? what model is your MD unit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THIS SUCKS Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 the record head will not come close enough to the disk just from pushing play. i believe the md cleaning disks are only for cleaning the laser. not the magnetic record head. the magnetic heads never get dirty. usually just the lasers so maybe just pushing play will be fine.

KJ_Palmer Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 There are/were some MD cleaning disks that claim to clean the recording head whilst in recording mode, eg. the one I have made by TDK. Thankfully I've never had to use it, and I suspect it may do more harm than good with those little scratchy brushes. If you're determined maybe you could transfer something from SS to the disc to emulate recording. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sector001 Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 so those cleaning MD discs actually have those little cleaning brushes on the disc? i had a regular CD cleaner with the brushes on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJ_Palmer Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 Indeed, or at least mine does. Open up the shutter, give a little twiddle and you'll see a little brush stuck on, just like a CD cleaner... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
