Yes, I can stop the selfmovement by pressing any button, so they work. I did not try the remote and probably will get no chance, since until I got to the remote it already move either all the way up or down. I am normally changing volume just after the track started, but I would say it's not connected to where the track is playing. I will try to observe better in the future. Ah, there is one thing, it's only happening when I'm listening to Paul Oakenfold remixes. That might be since this is the only stuff I have on my empeg as of now (stupid joke isn't it ?) And yes, I could send you my unit - once the MKII is out and you send me one for replacement and you have a perfect test-unit. Another bad joke, isn't it ? Thanks for checking on things. WIll let you know any findings asap. Cheers, Jo
