PX-716A wont read DVD movies, but will read DVD games

brc211 · 15-08-2005, 12:56 AM

I have a PX-716A DVD+-RW drive which suddenly stopped reading any DVD movies. It will read my Battlefield 2 DVD-ROM, but not a movie. Whats up with that? I get 2 amber flashes repeated when inserting a DVD movie, which means there is an auto adjustment failure. - Cannot read a stamped disc or initialize a CD-R/RW disc because the drive cannot properly configure the focus and track adjustment settings - Anyone know why my drive would act up suddenly like this? I tried restarting, reinstalling the drive. Its still giving me the same problem. What to do!!

i dont know what the problem could be but you can try contacting the manufacturer about it, or you could take/send it back to where you bought it from and maybe they could replace it!

I figured out the problem. Since i use DAEMON tools, i had to turn on all Emulations for my drive to read the movies. How dumb of me..

Dangit. Apparently only turning on the emulations for DAEMON tools let it read 1 dvd-movie. Back to square 1. I removed DAEMON tools along with other DVD-ware. And it still wont work. My comp hates me..
