Known bugs

2.0.4.0 firmware (probably 2.0.3.0 too)

• the player will freeze when you load VCD or SVCD disc, start playback, stop playback, turn the player off using remote, turn the player on using remote. In such situation you have to turn it off using front panel switch and turn again on. Some users report this bug also for ISO discs.
• during *.mpg files playback Fast Forward function doesn't work. In 1.0.0.6 firmware pressing Fast Forward resulted in rewinding the movie about a minute forward.
• some bugs in DivX/XviD subtitle display.

These bugs exist in every 2.0.4.0 firmware (official or unofficial). It can be fixed only by Cosmic programmers.
