When I am watching a DVD(storebought) and switch to a different source, the DVD seems to keep playing. I haven't noticed this with burned(copies) DVD's, they seem to pause when the source is changed. I have only had this happen with a couple DVD's and will try some more to see if they do it too.
Anybody else notice this?? Is there a setting that needs to be changed?

Real annoying to stop movie to check local traffic on FM and then come back to the movie for the kids and have it be not where we left it. :evil:

I've noticed that a couple times on some dvds. The only thing I've been able to come up with is to pause the dvd before switching sources. Couldn't tell you why not all of them do that though.

I would check the settings for the rear video output. OR what the rear video "is" (dvd player or mirror of the front). It might think you have a rear monitor and those people in the back want to watch the dvd.

Ducatiboy,
That did it. Rear screen(don't have one hooked up) was set to DVD.
I changed it to Mirror and tried it and the DVD stops when you switch sources.
Shouldn't the rear screen button be greyed out if I don't have anything hooked up to the rear output??

Anyways that worked great and will save me some headaches.
Thanks
