Post subject:  Troubles with a new install

I have the following hardware :

AMD Sephron 3000
Biostar NF325-A7
FX5200 w/ S-video tv out
PVR-150
Sony DRU-830A DVD/CD rw

The tuner worked right out of the box. Im able to watch and record TV on a PC monitor just fine, although I havent gotten the TV out working yet, but Ive only messed with it a little bit.

Whats been giving me fits is the DVD rom. It installed KnoppMyth fine, but when attempting to play back a DVD, it only plays a few seconds before dumping me back out to the menu. The other DVD functions are inoperable as well (archive, backup, etc) Ive looked through the docs and forum and dont see anyone else that experienced that problem.. any idea?

Much Appreciated.

Tv out works.. My dumb ass had the S-video cable plugged into the PVR150. Doh!

If anyone can help with the DVD issue I would be very thankful

Is the DVD drive brand new? When i installed a brand new one I had to set the region first before it would play any DVDs.

It is new. How do you set the region?


Edited 12:35pm EST :
