I have had an official reply from Meridian concering no repeat and ff/fr functions on DVDA's, this is a known issue and not a fault with my machine.

This is not reflected in my manuels which say the repeat and ff/fr are avaliable with DVDA, there was also no extra not in the package saying that these function where not working so i thought my 598 was malfunctioning not a nice thought after buying a 598 and 568.2mm at same time. Fel better that its no my 598

BUT would of like Meridian to enclose info in the box that would of stopped me worrying.

I do not think this is good practice not to inform customer of known probs(or was this a known prob i.e lack of product testing) any thoughts on this.
