In Setup->TV Settings->Playback you can specify "Fast forward amount (in<br>seconds) and "Rewind amount (in seconds)". What exactly are these<br>numbers for?<br></blockquote></div><br>These are used when you use the left/right keys. They're not really fast forward or rewind amounts but more like skip forward and back amounts. I have mine set to skip forward 30 secs and skip back 8 secs.
<br>I like these keys much better than the normal ff/rw keys; just skip forward a few times to jump passed an unmarked commercial and skip back once or twice if you've gone too far. In fact, I hate using devices (such as dvd players) that don't have these keys and I have to resort to normal ff/rw.
