DC console question
Ok, now that I finally have a DC I am wondering if anyone thinks the system is realy loud? I have played three different games on it and throughtout the entire game when it reads the cd it makes a loud...well cd reading sound. I don't remember my friend's DCs being that loud but maybe I just never noticed. Also, it won't read the Sega Game Sampler cd that came with it. Is this normal or should I call the Sega number tomorrow because mine has a problem?

Hmm. I didn't notice my friends GC being loud when I played it but then again neither did I notice his DC. It makes my PS2 seem so quiet, and I even have it sideways!

Yeah the DC does make a loud sound. You'll get used to it after a while.
Also if you're using a VMU, when the battery runs out and you dont replace it. It'll make a beeping noise when you turn on your DC. And I have yet to replace the battery. Dont worry it'll still work, but only when hooked up to the controller.

But about your second question... Yes your DC should be able to read the "sampler" Cd. If it doesn't I'd take it back and exchange it for another dreamcast. If it won't read that one, maybe it won't read other games either.
On the other hand, maybe the problem is with the sampler cd itself. Maybe you could borrow another one from a friend and try it in your DC.

Shuki: Thanks for the idea. I will try another sampler and hopefully it will run.
P.S. I heard the newer Dreamcasts do't play burned discs. Even if they do, how do you tell when your DC was manufactured? Does it have anything to do with the date the system defualts on when you first boot it?
