Never clean your DVD Player when it is plugged into the mains or TV.
Do NOT Playback your 'Lens Cleaning Disc' more than once at a time. If played excessively it will scratch your DVD lens.
Never disassemble your DVD Player. Not only will this invalidate your warranty but you will probably destroy your DVD Player.
