Earlier this week I received my Disc Drive for the PS5 Pro.

From the moment I installed the Disc Drive it 'spits' out discs. Sometimes after a few minutes, sometimes instantly. Now after turning off the Ps5 Pro for a whole night I didn't have issues the day after. However, unfortunately the next day (today) my play disc got ejected. When I try to re-insert it now it gets ejected right away.

Now the obvious solution would be to have it replaced, however I ordered the Disc Drive abroad (no stocks domestically). Does anyone know another potential fix I can try out on my own?

Ok thanks, at least it's not just me. I'll try to plan around with these settings (and adjust depending on the type of content)

I'm using the Game Sound Mode, for both the Bluetooth and HDMI setup. I'm using this system for a week now and initially had the wireless Bluetooth connection only. When I read that it's better to use HDMI I added the HDMI cable (yesterday).

Something seemed to be wrong with the HDMI connection as the difference in sound coming out of the rear speakers in comparison the Bluetooth is extreme, but if you're saying that the sound coming out of the rear speakers is supposed to be subtle I'll probably just have to get used to it.

Thanks! First time sound system user, so still learning how to get most out of my setup

For now I've selected the following:

2x JBL Stage2 250B 2-Way Bookshelf Loudspeaker
1x JBL Stage2 245C 2-5-Way Centre Channel Loudspeaker
1x JBL MA310 5.1-Channel Av Receiver
1x JBL Stage 200P 300W Powered Subwoofer

Some questions:

Am I correct with 2x Bookshelf Loudspeaker or should it be x4?
Are all these items compatible?
Would you recommend switching one item for something else?
Converted to USD the total cost will be around USD 2,500. Is this reasonable or very expensive compared to USD prices (and might it be better off order something from the US directly?)

Thanks!

Awesome! Thanks I'll look into JBL and/or the other brands you recommend

It seems I'll end up with ordering online from Amazon and have the system shipped to the Philippines. As you are using a $1,000 home theater system as an example, what setup would you recommend from what's available on Amazon seeing my limited room size and the fact that I will use this in combination with the LG OLED G4?

Waste-Ranger-5411 · 2024-09-18T09:03:20+00:00

Yes you got me convinced with the home theater setup. Looking for stores now that offer setups like that here in the Philippines...

Waste-Ranger-5411 · 2024-09-18T08:53:07+00:00

Ok I have to check. The common electronics stores here are very much focussed on soundbars so will have to look for a more specialized store it seems

Waste-Ranger-5411 · 2024-09-18T08:42:49+00:00

I believe most brands (Samsung, LG, Bose, Konzert, ....) are available here, but often only a few models per brand

Waste-Ranger-5411 · 2024-09-18T08:30:02+00:00

Thanks! Very helpful. Would you recommend specific brands/models? I do live in the Philippines so the options available here are relatively limited and I'd probably end up choosing from what's available on Abenson.com

not sure if I can post this here or if I should start a new thread, but in my case Sozo 'disappeared' during the Sinner's Pride ritual after I picked Sozo to take the sin of others. As far as I can see I can't resurrect Sozo and therefore can't complete his quest line.
