Mine had that problem. Audio went out of sync on PS1 games. Then PS2 games suddenly looked like crap and had realy horrible sound. I never tried a DVD during this time. I basically shelved the system for about six months and started to really miss PS2 games and a few that I wanted to play had been released. So... I decided to buy a new one. But figured I might as well check mine out one last time. And while setting it up (upright) I accidently knocked it over. And when I fired it up it worked... So I'm guessing the lense was out of alignment. And I magically knocked it back in place. So yeah. Beat up your PS2. It'll work
