I'm sure this isn't a bug, but it might be something to fix nonetheless.

People have mentioned burn-in scenarios with the VFD and I don't know if this is possible - can anyone comment on this?

In any case, the HD icon, if enabled in player configuration, never blanks when using emplode. Doesn't blank while syncing (the HD is pretty much always going) and doesn't blank when just sitting in emplode doing nothing (are the discs actually spinning continuously?)

Anyway, during sync operation, it might be a good idea to move the HD icon back and forth in a similar fashion to the sync message if burn-in is a real concern.
