Yeah I've noticed drives me crazy too. It was realy pronounced on my
recording of Starwars Episode 2 the other night. My suggestion would
be to get a macro capable remote. Make a macro that hits the volume
down button about 10 or 20 times. The make another macro the brings it
back up the same amount. It may take asome playing with, but it is
essentially the same thing you are asking for. I'm assuming you use a
remote. I just bought one last week and programmed all my Myth
Functions fromteh Lite-On IR keyboard into it. Including a few macros,
like a single button delete file. now I'm keyboard free. Make sure it
is JP1 compatible.
