Turn the potentiometer down and slowly ramp it up until an original disc works fine for you. Then, try a copied disc and see if it performs the same. If not, ramp it up again a very small amount since CD-R's need more beam power to have a good eye pattern.

I think there is a video on YouTube somewhere. Either way, if you don't know what I'm talking about then you probably shouldn't touch it.

there is plenty of sites out there to tell you this but...
If your ps1 have never been opened or messed with... I would not adjust the pot unless absolutely necessary.. but if you have to,
Open the ps1 and MARK the pot in 12 o'clock positon with fine point sharpie.
turn it clockwise until the mark is at 1 o'clock or max 1:30
thats it
