FWIW 30 seconds seems too long as well. If we are going to be super-optimal about it the backlight delay is a function of screen size and font size. The default for any given player should be enough for an average person to take in the information currently on screen. +1 for 15 seconds default. -- Alex, homepage: http://www.bennee.com/~alex/ CV: http://www.bennee.com/~alex/cv.php
