oh yeah and something i noticed, if I do not use the malata for a while I cannot turn the player back on by remote. The power button on the malata itself is pushed in, so normally we should be able to turn it on and off from power button, correct? But like a few days later, I tried turning it on with the remote and it didn't work.

what I had to do was press the power on the player, so it went completely off, and then push it back in for my remote to work again. Does anyone have this problem?

Is this normal?

That's happened to me a couple times. I just had to push the button out and then it worked again. Some people said that if you do that then all your settings in the Malata will be reset, but I've found that isn't true. I really wish the Malata had a better remote. The one they give us is such a flimsy, poorly-laid out piece of crap.

Mine is used daily, so I don't know.

Malata patches available today? Has malata extended the wait for the patches?
