"DVD Remote Problems...."

I bought Sr's GT3 Firepack, with the free DVD remote etc. Only the DVD remote doesn't seem to work.

I've plugged it in etc (and there are batteries in it). The red light flashes when I press a button, but nothing happens.

If I try to use the remote, to no avail, it then doesn't recognise commands from the joypad. So I have to reset my PS2, and use the joypad to watch my DVD's.

Any advice?

Damn.

Why didn't they include it, does the other controllers not work as well, I know they dont have as many features as the official remote.

Oh yeah, you may want to put a DVD in :)

You can plug the infrared receiver into either port and it works just fine, but there's no through-port - you have to take it out to connect two joypads.

Does the official DVD remote have the option to plug a controller into the DVD link like other un-official DVD remotes do?
Or do you have to plug it into port two and pad into port 1 and swop the DVD and contoller over when wanting to play two players etc.

Buy the official Sony remote... it's lovely!

DVD Region X is nice, too!

Be warned, though - the new DVD drivers (2.10), supplied with the Sony remote, prevent DVD Region X from working. I've mailed the company to see if they'll be doing an upgrade and will let people know if and when I hear anything...
