My first posting on this forum so hi to everyone :-)

Just like to say 1st a thanks to Wookie for posting the info on the lip-sync workaround, tried it out last night and it worked fine....had a few problems with the "Shaft" DVD.

Only problem I now have is with my PS2 I get a black border appear at the top of the screen with white lines in it and the picture jumps a few times and then settles down for a while. I must get this about every 5 mins during the DVD, again I'm not really that worried because I have a dedicated DVD player but just wondered if anyone had experienced this as well.

The films that it does it on ranges from Gladiator, Jackie Brown, Shaft, Terminator etc although not all DVD's do it.

Any thoughts?

Straight swap at the doorstep, they use AMTRAK to do the delivery, i phoned them on a thursday and got my new one on the tuesday, but that was on a bank holiday weekend.

Thanks for the info.

Did Sony ask you to send it back via the post or was it a straight swap at your doorstep?

I don't think I can be without mine for more than a day!
