If you are reading this article with respect to playing reproduction discs, be sure that you are using high quality discs and a quality burner. Additionally, be sure that your settings in the burning software are set correctly. This is too detailed of a topic to go into in this article but tons of online resources exist regarding this and we will address the ins and outs of creating your own reproductions in a future article. If you purchased your disc from a retro reproducer, ask them if they are testing their discs in OEM hardware prior to shipping. Many only use checks done by a PC and our experience is that this method can and will miss burn issues which can only be caught by testing on a good old fashioned console.
