I've noticed this in my car but couldn't replicate it until now. When in home with Emplode, select a track and play it. Then press fast forward on the remote. It takes 5 sec to start fast forwarding. If you try it again it responds imediately, like it should. If you page back to the beginning of the song it responds immediately too. It's only when the song has been newly brought up and hasn't been controlled with the remote that this happens. Like I said, this happens in the car too, but I don't know the circumstance when though.
