Mind you when I bought the player, I quizzed the salesman on all aspects of the player including the fast forward (I found the details on teh internet) and he convinced me it would work.
Long story short, it doesn't. Went back to hassle the salesman to find that he didn't work there anymore.
Ohwell, like you said, the player rocks with all it's features. One question, have you tried inserting a DVD movie without having the screen connected? Does the audio still work? Thought this could be useful for music DVD's!!
Sorry to hijack the thread.
