AC About all you can do is try another disc, and try cleaning it
AC manually. Cleaning discs at best do nothing and may cause damage.
AC The lens should be cleaned with a Q-tip that's just slightly damp with
AC 91% or better alcohol. If that doesn't do it, then you probably need
AC a new DVD player. Unless it's an expensive player, it's not worth
AC repairing (unless you can fix it yourself).

I find ammonia based window cleaner is better because alcohol can be
damaging to some plastics such as some used in the lens materials. The
ammonia also kills fungi spores which alcohol and bleach don't do well.
