Ok... The drive you mentioned is a DVD+RW drive...
What version PS2 do you have..... Some older version PS2's don't like the +R format.... Also some home dvd players don't like it either...
If possible stay with the -R format like the Pioneer A03 or A04...:cool:

yes your v5 should play them as long as laser is in good condition
with time the laser will weaken then u got problems with the +r
the -r will still be ok as they r easier to read
