In any case, empeg gave us a fantastic compromise:


When the unit is on the info:track screen, holding down the bottom button (on the faceplate) will switch back to the visuals screen. That way, if you like the visuals in your car, you can bring them back with a single button-press.


This is the perfect compromise because it gives empeg what they need (the user must consciously choose to activate the visuals in the car), while giving us what we want (the simplest possible way to get to the visuals).


Unfortunately, there seems to be one particular type of usage where this compromise fails - if you use "Info: Line" combined with a visual, then when you turn off the player and turn it back on, if you hold down the bottom button you'll only get your visual (and not "Info: Line"). At least, that's what my Mk. 2 did today (I finally got it installed in my car, after having it in hand for more than a month).

On the other hand, I'm not really sure what the best way to solve this particular problem would be. Hmm.
