PS1/2 PS2 Issue?

[Sstew]

Hi there, I was recently given another PS2, Finally got around to replacing the video/audio cable. My friend told me that the only issue with the PS2 was that it won't read any of the discs with a blue or colored bottom.
Sure enough, After some testing it'll load any silver bottomed disc, and any Black bottomed PS1 disc.

but it won't read any of the discs with the blue bottom or any colored CD-R's I own.

What would cause it to do this?

Thanks
