Re: Breaking laser pick-ups

I'm by no means a laser expert, but I fail to see how a laser head will be physically affected in any way by one form of disk over another, i.e., dvd vs. cd.

One issue that does get some discussion is the affect DVD-optimized laser wavelength on redbook cd playback quality. Early DVD players (from waaay back in 1999!) often had discrete lasers for DVD and for CD formats, but feature this has pretty much disappeared.
