Product Description

From the Manufacturer

If you're reading this you've undoubtedly already discovered that your growing collection of music CDs, DVDs, laserdisc movies, computer CD-ROMs, and video game discs isn't quite as "indestructible" as we were all once led to believe. The sad truth is that playability of our digital discs is affected by what often appear to be relatively minor surface scratches and abrasions, whether they're caused by the discs being dropped, caught in a disc tray, or simply stored without their protective jewel boxes and sleeves. Regardless of the cause, it's very likely that sooner or later you'll have some discs that just don't work or that skip on certain tracks.

The good news is that there's now a safe, convenient, and affordable way to restore virtually all damaged discs to their original functionality, and on average it takes only two to three minutes of your time. The patent-pending DiscRx Rx4 Advanced Formula kits from DiscRestore International provide you with an easy and highly effective alternative to having to replace your expensive, often irreplaceable, media.

It's so simple, it's as easy as 1, 2, 3:

• Place a damaged disc face down on a clean, nonabrasive surface (towels work great).
• Apply five drops of DiscRx Repair solution evenly to the exposed data side of the disc.
• Using the supplied blue OptiCloth (made of 100 percent lint-free cotton), rub the DiscRx Repair solution into the disc surface, rubbing from the inner to outer edge while rotating the disc with your other hand. Complete two revolutions (or until the DiscRx Repair solution is no longer visible).

Repeat the above three steps using the DiscRx Care solution and the white OptiCloth, and your disc will be restored to full playability as well as protected against further damage.

Severely damaged discs (about 10 percent, based on current real-world experience) might require a second application of DiscRx Repair solution or, alternatively, application of the supplied UltraFine polishing strips. Our field tests and feedback from satisfied DiscRestore users all over the world repeatedly show that DiscRestore is 98 percent effective in restoring damaged discs, regardless of the extent of the damage. There is nothing that is more effective than DiscRestore for restoring, protecting, and improving damaged or malfunctioning digital media.

Protect your restored and new or undamaged discs: Not only does the proprietary DiscRx system restore your damaged discs, it also provides a means to protect them from further damage. Use the DiscRx Care solution as above (except this time using the white OptiCloth), and in just a minute or two your disc will be effectively protected against further scratches and abrasions. We highly recommend that you use this procedure to protect your good or undamaged discs, and we even provide self-adhesive stickers in each kit so that you can easily label which discs in your collection have already been protected by DiscRestore.

Improve audio and video playback performance: That's right! Use of the DiscRx system not only restores your damaged discs and protects them against further damage, but many serious audiophiles and videophiles have reported improved performance after using our system. While a number of factors outside of our control--disc mastering and manufacturing processes, type and condition of player, associated electronics, etc.--can affect playback of music and movies from digital discs, we have heard from a number of DiscRestore users that they have noticed improvements in both audio and video detail and clarity after treating their collections.

Developed in California's Silicon Valley by professions for professionals: In 1989 DiscRestore inventor Martin Perches conceived a synergistic, two-step process to restore playability to damaged audio CDs. As a successful inventor in the consumer electronics field as well as an avid audiophile, he had already noted that dust, scratches, and surface imperfections could render this supposedly indestructible new medium unusable by impeding the flow of information from the disc to the player. He was able to utilize sophisticated test equipment and facilities in California's Silicon Valley to test and develop his theories until he had perfected what is now the patent-pending DiscRestore system. An instant hit with professionals in the newly emerging field of digital media development and production, which soon expanded from audio to video and then data storage and playback, DiscRestore is now available as an safe and easy method for consumers to also restore, protect, and improve their digital collections.

No machines, no harmful solvents: Unlike some competing products, the DiscRestore system is completely safe to use and requires no costly machines or harmful solvents to fully restore usability to all forms of digital discs. The Advanced Formula Rx4 Repair and Care solutions contain no solvents, which can be dangerous to handle, polluting to the environment, or destructive to delicate player mechanisms and electronics. By utilizing simple, hand-applied solutions they provide a simple, cost-effective method of restoring, protecting and improving digital discs while avoiding the hazards, expense, and potential breakdowns of mechanical systems.

A responsible member of the community: DiscRestore International utilizes a pioneering community-services organization for assembly of all DiscRx kits. For nearly 50 years, Hope Rehabilitation Services has provided a comprehensive array of quality services that enable individuals with developmental disabilities to achieve their maximum potential. DiscRestore International is proud to join other concerned companies such as Hewlett-Packard, Apple, IBM, Klutz Press, Zellerbach, and Heublein in providing supported employment to this worthy group of individuals--people who inspire us all with their determination and their abilities in overcoming a wide range of physical, emotional, and neurological challenges.

By A Customer

This review is from: DiscRestore 3680 DiscRx Pro Series II (Electronics)

I was looking for a new cd because my prevesious one had ben scrached by my baby sister untill my friend told me about this discrestore product. I didn't beleive him at first untill he showed me what needed to be done. He took one of his cd's and scrached it with his nail(I thought he was out of his mind). He then took out his repair kit and fixed it! The cd played like it was brand new. I ameditially bought the product and now I have fixed 20 of my cd's that i thought were lost. Thanks to DiscRX i can now listen to my favorite cd's for alot less money than buying a brand new one. Thank you DiscRX

This product is indeed the best disc retoration product on the market. However, if you're expecting miracles every time, your hopes are too high. In my opinion, the DiscRestore Care portion of the product is better than the DiscRestore Repair portion of the product. The Repair portion does fix MINOR scratches almost 100% of the time, but those ones that are a little deeper, well, you may get lucky. The Care portion does a solid job at keeping protecting your discs from future damage. If only they sold them separately...

4.0 out of 5 stars Not great, but pretty good, February 12, 2002

Portsmouth Public Library (Portsmouth, Ohio) - See all my reviews

This review is from: DiscRestore 3680 DiscRx Pro Series II (Electronics)

My job is to manage a small library audio visual department. I have looked for things to take care of the damage done to a fairly good size DVD collection, that really takes a beating. This product is very good on small superficial scratches, and I use it as an everyday cleaner, just as precautionary measures. You can tell the difference in the way things are returned, and the number of things we have to discard. Not for deep scratches, but a good product anyway.
