Okay, I do not take credit for this - I'm simply passing it on. This is from a letter in the latest issue of Play magazine, from someone called Mark.

I also do not know if it actually works, because (a) I do not use my PS2 as a DVD player because I have a dedicated unit, and (b) when I *have* used the DVD playback, I have had no problems with lip-sync. Anyway, here it is...

"...page 7 of the manual, you'll find an auto-diagnosis function, which works as follows: switch on the console with nothing in it and press on your controller to access the main menu then:

1. Select 'Console' and press
2. Select 'On' and press X
3. Insert a disc. I used a DVD which I had been having lip-sync problems with.

The console should now automatically start the diagnosis. After doing this, I have watched several DVD's since and they have all played okay."


Well, there you go. Hope it helps you guys out.

Pausing or going to the menu and resuming does solve the problem - temporarily, but the diagnostic mode seems much better, as it is a more permanent means of solving the problem.

Thought he must have been, but I was too asleep to tell for sure. Thats the last time I ever post straight after a lecture!

As for the snowboarding, I`ve never actually snowboarded, though I did go on a skiing holiday with my old school a few years back. Apart from that, I just go for the game.

How about you? Sounds like you`re a snowboarder!

Its possible that was a joke I missed, but couldn`t it be because they are speaking in a foreign language, and there is dubbed sound over the top. This is probably what you were talking about, but I wasn`t sure.
