RW discs you should really not use.Most PS2's will have trouble with those.
A V1-V3 version should read a CD-R just fine, and DVD-R as well
A V4 on up should read the above, plus DVD+R media

yours will most likely read dvd -/+ r no problem. If you really wanna know about RW then the only way to find out is to test them.

RW media is BAD for the laser.
90% chance that it WILL NOT read RW media.
(Cd-r media is compatible with all versions.)
Older used consoles tend to have problems with cd-r,
(due to the higher reading speed on some cheap cd-r media.)
Most consoles (Version 4 and higher)
Can read +r media.
Some simple burns can find this out.
Most important is the 'quality' of the media you are using.

http://www.digitalfaq.com/media/dvdmedia.htm
The following list is in preference order. The best discs are near the top of the list. The discs at
the bottom of the list are suitable only for a landfill.

Almost flawless burns with 95-100% reliable results:
PVC = Pioneer = (-R)(-RW)
MXLRG01, MXLRG02 = Maxell = (-R) ... be aware of unbranded fakes
MCC = Mitsubishi Chemicals = (-R)<-----------------VERBATIM MY CHOICE #1
TDKG02 = TDK Corp = (-R) ... be aware of unbranded fakes
TAIYOYUDEN or YUDEN = Taiyo Yuden = (-R)<--------------FUJIFILM (made in japan) MY CHOICE #2
