Here is my youtube review of my issues and features of the DDX-512 Part 1: Part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZ21gBbUJjk

I didn't mention about that but I will test that myself. How big is your USB thumbdrive? I have a USB harddrive and I will fill it up with MP3s and see if any get grayed out.

I had a Kenwood Tech Support representative call me back today on my question about MPEG 2 video files on the DDX 512. Sadly, he was somewhat rude and insulting and didn't have an answer to my question. When I asked him what bitrate I should encode my videos to play on the unit, he gave me...
