Problems with PS2

I use a Playstation 2 as a second room dvd player...but when the player reads the second layer half-way thru the movie it cuts out all the time ...the audio and the video are not in sync....I tried using a lens cleaning CD...that doesn't help to much....it happens on most discs...even new ones....any suggestions...before I spend alot on fixing it...thanx chris....by the way it reads CDs and Playstation games just fine....

I've only seen this problem with older DVD players. Solution: upgrade. Unfortunately the PS2 is brand new. I have one, and have never experienced the problems you are describing. Might be time to call Sony...

Our PS2 has seen limited duty as a movie player, but like Argent, we've never had any problems. That's pretty unacceptable behavior you're experiencing.

OK...for all you playstaion 2 owners who have problems reading any discs at all....I called Sony and they gave me a solution.....in the browser screen.....press Traingle....select console and use the auto diagnostic mode....this corrects the laser to read the disc in the most efficient way...fixed my problem in no time...with NO money....whew!...

Just out of curiosity, are you using the optical output for sound or the regular analog output?
