    CDP laser lenses are best cleaned with a cotton bud and some IPA.

    And yes,it sounds really nice this little player,better than the kenwood,in fact there is an audible dif when you swap between the two? the kenwood is no where near as dynamic,not bad if you turn it up,but on low volume the eclipse beats it hands down,hope i can get it working,but i really think it could be something seriouse,sometimes it is very subtle and then you just catch it on a quiet passage of music grgrgrg!!!
