Cleaning your DVD player?
I've heard something about needing to clean your laser from time to time.
I've got a Panasonic 5 disc changer. How would I go about getting the laser cleaned?

Before this gets thrown in the Hardware thread, try this:

It's the same concept with cleaning CD player lenses.

I've been lead to believe from various previous posts that this is something that shouldn't be done. Is it still split between those who feel it is necessary and those that do not?

I had been having some pixelization problems with a disc of late.
Will using compressed air work better than using a lens cleaner? To use compressed air, do I need to open the cover of the player, or can I just hit the eject button to open the tray and spray inside?

Between the two, I'd opt for the lens cleaner. I'd worry about high compressed air blowing a speck of dirt towards the lens. I don't know about the possibility of that scratching the lens but better to be safe than sorry. Also, if you open the case, you could void your warranty (if one still applies).
