Best way to clean CD player lens?


I tried to find previous discussions by entering; CD lens cleaning, CD payer cleaning, etc. but came up with zip.

Anyway, I have a Sony SCD333 player that I have owned for a few years and have never cleaned the lens. I removed the cover and the lens was totaly inaccessable to my naked eye.
I used to use an small air compressor with my old unit since the lens was right in sight. Any ideas on what I should use without the old "spinning lens brush" CD or taking my player apart? Or is the brush the way to go? I am trying to avoid sending it to a shop as this should be routine maintenance. Is it visable & I missed it? Please let me know the trick!
Thanks in advance, John

In the Sony Service manual for your unit they recommend that the ONLY way to clean the lens is with compressed air. I have the same unit as you and I have the Service Manual.
