If anyone else knows let us know.
The only other thing you can do is press start for 2 secs,then press it again and it should be o.k.

cause if that\'s the case, I noticed it too, pretty annoying isn\'t it?
dunno if there\'s a cure for this, maybe it\'ll get fixed with one of the updated drivers that are on new disks

Post by: on March 06, 2001, 02:15:36 PM: Well if it is fixed or improved by a cd update i don\'t think that will help me out. Mine is a PAL unit - if i understand right only the Jap version has dvd software on memory card?

Unless its possible to flash the inbuilt driver?

Who know? But i hope it can be fixed.

Cheers for the comments though guys, at least im not on my own with this one.

Title: DVD freezing
Post by: on March 06, 2001, 06:16:25 PM: My playstation2 has been out of sync for sometime. It had become worse and worse and now my console freezes at some point when I play DVDs or games. It really pisses me off now! I\'ll be calling Sony about it, but I am wondering if anyone has the same problem. BTW my Playstation2 is now 3 months old. I had an orignal 1001 model Playstation1 for 5 years, which was considered finicky, but never this bad!

Post by: Mr. Kennedy on March 06, 2001, 06:48:05 PM: Is it the DVD\'s fault or the PS2\'s fault? Anybody willing to venture a guess? Hmm... I assume most f you already know the answer...

Post by: Dolbytone on March 06, 2001, 07:14:01 PM: See if it happens both in analog and digital modes. I don\'t know what you could do with a consumer model but the cinema processors have a digital sound head delay that you can adjust to sync it up... just a tidbit there.
Title: Troubleshooting the PS2 to death
Post by: on March 06, 2001, 07:55:35 PM: Believe me, I\'ve run the PS2 with the Analog off before. It is very strange. DVD movies will play for a short while, then static will display on the screen and finally it just freezes and you can\'t do anything but reset the console.

Games will generally run up until you select options and play the game. Then it will freeze too.

I own 6 games and 20 DVDs and all have the same effect. And from what I learned about my PS1 I keep the console away from anything that generates heat (IE. Other electronics or heaters). I also prop it up off the shelf with two boxes to allow air to cool the bottom of the console.

I wonder if there is a problem with processor handling too much information. It runs smoothly up until a certain point. It was even apparent when the synchronization was off, you would have to pause the console to get everything in sync again.
