skooby,

It's not functional, but I generally don't use FF or FR on audio playback. I listen to entire tracks, not fast forwarding say 3:18 into a track.

Your tone is such that this is a flaw, and I submit to you that if the intent was not to have sound output during DVD-A queing (ie ff/fr) it has been executed to specification.

Whether you agree with that is another story altogether.

As Stacey pointed out, it's pretty complicated to handle FF/FR on MLP encoded material.

If you happen to have a DVD-A title that isn't encoded with MLP, try FF/FR on that, and see if it's a function of whether MLP is used. My guess is that this will work, and that Stacey's commentary in the other thread about buffering issues with MLP playback being the reason it is not done.

The fact that the 598 greatly exceeds sonically any other DVD-A player I've had in my system is the most important aspect of the player to me.

Regards,
