Just wondering if others actually maintain their systems or do nothing?



I tend to clean the DVD & CD players lenses once a week as well as using a demagnetiser CD and every couple of months or so I clean the banana plugs at the amp and speaker ends with alcohol. :thumbup:



Keeps it all in tip top shape. :D~:-D~:grin:

I do dust everything down about once a week but that's about it :( I keep meaning to get some stuff to clean banana plugs and power cable plug prongs but never get round to it :roll:

I dust the TV screen once every 3-4 days and run the duster over the amp, player, speakers, and sub but that's about it.



I've never ever used a lens cleaner in my life :o~:-o~:eek:

Cant imagine you in rollers & apron Jase :D~:-D~:grin:



I regularly check all connections, and reset the timing device i have hidden in the rack, which is designed to spray out red smoke when Adzman Jnr & his band of merry fingers, come waddling round the corner :thumbup:



I actually dust the kit everyday

But he looks so innocent in your avatar mate 8)~8-)~:cool: :lol:



Never been entirely convinced as to the effectiveness of cleaning discs. I do pop the top off my amp and make sure the heatsinks are nice and clean though. ;)~;-)~:wink:

Kit wise, he's already caused the pulse to quicken a few times.

Usually give mine a cleandown once a week, and then straight after another cleandown but with antistatic spray which is good for the equipment and TV Screens.

Doesn't that invalidate the guarantee though :o~:-o~:eek:



I keep meaning to get hold of a can of that compressed air stuff in order to blast the interior of the amp - but, as above post, never get round to it :roll: :lol:

Normally get the wife to hoover and dust :twisted: . Av gear (amp,dvd,sky) hidden away in cupboard so dusting is not a real issue.



Have used dvd lense cleaner once. Forgot about it until I read this post.



Are you really meant to clean banana plugs and plug prongs?

I just polish the T.V. Dvd player and Amp as and when I do the rest of the room. Didn't know you were supposed to get lense cleaners and all the rest. :(

Supposedly so, it cleans off the oxidised layer (I think) and therefore provides a better contact. Check it out here (http://www.russandrews.com/product.asp?lookup=1&amp;region=UK&amp;currency=GBP&amp;pf_id= 5434&amp;customer_id=PAA1748101303365QFMXLCHGEVPXORZF)

Apart from the dusting, I run the hoover over the back of the telly and speaker grills every once in a while.. :thumbup:



Not literally....I use the hose and that soft round brush thingy that never get used for anything else.. :roll:

Don't do that mate, you'll end up blowing dust into tiny places that you can't get to to clean it out! It would be VERY bad!
