I've done some FAQ searching, but haven't found anything addressing this question or issue. Probably because the topic is about the "buttons" on the Empeg, and the search is so generic...

So here goes...

I have a Mk2a running 2.0 and the latest version of HiJack. I've had this problem pretty much ever since I bought the unit a year or so ago...

Let's say a song has been playing, and I haven't touched the front panel buttons for awhile. But I want to skip to the next song, so I push the "right" button. Most times, nothing happens the first time I push the button and I have to push it a second time for the command to work.

However, if I've pushed the button recently, perhaps to advance the song as described above, and I want to advance a second time to the next song right away, the right button will then work fine when I press it.

It's fairly repeatable...Ordinarily, I'd suspect something about the button contacts, but since it doesn't work at first and usually always works after the first try for awhile, it doesn't seem like that would be the behavior of a mechanical device.

The other 3 buttons seem to also act this way, but I have to admit that I haven't paid as much attention since I'm usually interested in moving to the next song more than anything...I do distinctly remember that the top button "pause" function is also similiar...

So, has anyone seen this type of behavior and have any suggestions about how I might fix it?

Thanks, Randy
