  My friend used a PS2 to play DVD's and while the games were always centered on the screen, the DVD's were always shifted to the right. I know this isn't the answer your loking for, just thought I'd mention another 'glitch'. And no, I don't think this is a common problem with true dvd players.

    I noticed last night, watching Lawrence of Arabia, that whenever this audible glitch happened it coincided with the preamp receiving a burst of PCM via the optical input and then returning to AC3. Whenever it switches from one to the other, there is what sounds like a burst of static. I assume a good DVD player would output a continuous AC3 signal and this wouldn't happen. Otherwise I am screwed because me preamp is seeing some breaks in the AC3 signal as an opporutnity to turn off and on the speaker field.

    Well, screwed may be a dramatic way of putting it. The problem is quite subtle.

    • Did you check the PS2's menu options ? - Iguana Man 09:43:51 05/10/02 (0)

      I'll double check when I get home, but there may be some options within the PS2 that you can adjust. I seem to remember a DVD option menu for some reason.....however, you say you're running optical out of the PS2, which if I'm not mistaken, requires a special cable. Is it possible the cable is "glitchy" ?

  It's probably the PS2, I've not seen lock problems with any number of DVD players that I've monkeyed around with in various configurations of receivers / processors / players.

    My PS2 was my first DVD player, and if it wasn't for the remote I bought being such a piece of crap, I would probably still be using it, as it's better than the cheap GE DVD I was given for helping someone out.

    Never had any problems with the PS2 playing DVDs beyond it being a pain in the butt to have to have the game controller there to watch a movie. Know a bunch of other folks in the same boat and haven't heard any other complaining. :)

    Was also using an optical/digital connection for the audio.
