Matrix cant read dvd rw and cd rw

[bin20]

I have a big problem and cant play buckup`s dvdrw and cdrw (Imation and Philips) so pls help me if u can.

[snake2]

its not the chip its the ps2 if you do the pot ajustment it might but i dont know how to do that

[lufcfan]

what version PS2 is it? V1-4 and some V5 will not read RW discs...

[bin20]

I have ps2 v10 with matrix infinity and still cant play my buckup dvdrw cdrw games

[jackdogmax]

are you using a rewritable (rw) dvd instead of -r/+r dvd?

[bin20]

I used dvdr +/- and worked perfect but the problem is dvdrw and cdrw
i put movie on it and worked fine but still cant read buckup games...pls dont stop helping.. tnx

You probably wont be able to use RW's. Thats just something you might have to deal with. Movies are easier to read, but ps2 games require more effort.

CD-RW’s work fine on my V7, I did have to turn the pot down very slightly to stop CDRW’s from skipping a little, like 1380 ohms to 1320, hardly anything really.

I’ve tried CDRW’s on V4’s and V9’s and the PS2’s would not read them at all, just horrible laser sounds.

I don’t have any DVD-RW’s to try but I’m doubtful the even a V7 would read one, but you never know. If someone else with a V7 would Try a DVD-RW and post what happens… I might be tempted to buy a DVD-RW to play around with. Does it try to read a bit and skip/lockup of just click and screech? If it attempts to load then A little Pot tweaking will probably work. If you don't have a V7 then probly' don't even bother.

Damn, I sold my good V7 last weekend thinking I’ve got another V7 waiting for a chip. It better read CDRW’s like my last one did!!!

rather than adjusting the laser pot u might want to try moving the laser slightly closer to the disc to get the rw to read. Personally i wouldn't put a rw into either of my ps2's as even if it does read it will fraz yr laser very quickly.

I got my V7 to read a Maxell DVD-RW. Think it was NBA Streets Vol. 2. I was curious and wanted to know if it could read a DVD-RW or not.Anyway I erased it and put it on a regular DVD-R.
