Sony Playstation 1 for a CD player ???

Anybody having problems with the Playstation 1 playing burned discs? After the disc clamp broke I recently replaced my 5501 model with the original 1001 (and, yes, the original sounds worlds better--and the 5501 had been making me pretty happy, too). The only problem I have now is that the 1001 does not play SOME burned CDs.

It plays them, but the servo in the player makes noises like it's having trouble tracking and then the music starts glitching with static. I can't see any correlation with age of the burn or scratching or brand of blank CD. I'll buy another 1001 model if the problem is just with my unit, but I don't want to waste the dough if it'll be the same story. Thanks in advance.

Did you try resetting the laser intensity level and bias using the procedure outlined in Mick Feuerbacher's Web site?

This usually cures most tracking problems.

these things are going like hotcakes here on the 'gon. i've seen 3 up and 3 down within the last 2 weeks (myself included). should get mine monday. looking forward to it. Rhing I'll hit you up if i want to take it to 11.

Posted this yesterday, still no show. Just wanted to note that there are remote controllers for PS1's. I found one on fleabay for ~$5

i've had one for years and all i can say is i dare anyone come up with anything that sounds as good for less than 2grand.
