The GOTO button on the remote brings up the GOTO navigation menu on the top of the screen - pressing the UP and DOWN buttons on the remote will change the minute value by one at a time. Pressing ENTER on the remote jumps the movie to the minute value but leaves the GOTO menu on-screen, awaiting further input (in the event that you are not yet at the right place). The LEFT and RIGHT navigation buttons will change between the following adjustment options: TIME, CHAPTER (embedded within DVDs and MKVs) and TITLE (other movies within selected folder). These fields will also accept numeric input.
If you are happy with the movie position then press either GOTO again or the RETURN button to exit.

The most obvious is to use the REWIND (<<) & FAST FORWARD (>>) buttons on the remote. Speeds of 1.5X, 2X, 4X, 8X, 16X & 32X are available. Note that the Navigation Buttons also perform RW and FF functions during movie play, except while playing DVDs (IFO or ISO files) as these keys are then required to perform other menu navigation functions.

Simply press the A-B button once to mark the start of the scene you wish to repeat (A) and again to mark the end (B) - that selected scene will repeat until stopped with a third press of the A-B button.

Quick Q sir - is there a way that you can have the mede8er box be on stand-by mode automatically (i.e. with the red light on), after you plug it in?  cause now every time I decide to watch a movie, I have to crouch on over to the rack and press the power switch; rather than just pressing the power button on the remote while on my couch. 

Lazy question am sorry  Grin

Thanks,
Jasper

No, that is not possible.

You have to make a choice:
1 just set it on stanby after you finished using your mede8er, power consumption is really low then
2 when you switch power off (led off and not red), the only way to switch on is pressing the power button on the unit.

So if you are "lazy" just pick option 1, that the same I am doing because I am also lazy...  Grin

thanks for the feedback Maasbommel.  well since I am lazy like i initially declared, then option 1 is my best bet.  my only prob which makes this not feasible for me is that i have my mede unit hooked-up to a line conditioner and voltage regulator.  too much 'phantom' lights already for my own good...  Grin

I have tried everything .... I recently updated the frimware to 2.02 and now i cannot forward at 32x like before. this is a pain as the goto funtion doesnt work either on divx movies.  so when i restart it seems i need to forward at 2x speed until i get to the part in the movie i was watching. bookmark also does not work.  (confirm going to lastnpossition)

Please help as it was working nicely and is much better than the mvix i have but i cant keep waiting for it to get to the spot i want.
