Well, if I had enough information to set my player up exactly the same as your player, then in theory the "bug" should happen here as well. Then I would be able to observe it in more detail, and figure out why it happens that way.

So.. assume I just received a shiney new player. What settings must I effect to reproduce the problem? What power supply, in car, or in home? Exactly which visual? Which info mode? Exactly what sequence of actions/operations must be performed (eg. push a certain button, wait xx seconds, unplug the AC-adaptor, wait xx seconds, plug it back in, and observe xxxxxx..).

Come on guys.. I might be a kernel guru, but my clairvoyance powers are limited here.
