MP3 search forward but not reverse?

[TNTitan]

This is a new one.. scanning through a song, I wanted to reverse a few seconds to hear a specific part again and holding down the down track selection brought me right back to the beginning of the song. Odd? Holding down the up track selection for a few seconds searches through the song, but is there no way to search in reverse?

Seemed strange to me. Maybe this only occurs on MP3's on USB. Haven't tried reverse search on CD or iPod yet. YMMV.

Actually mine works fine reverse with a MP3 on a usb stick.
Something is wrong.

Try again...you probably pressed and left to button to quickly.

Thanks QCTLG... looks like reverse search DOES work on most of my MP3's, but not VBR (variably bit rate) encoded MP3s. (Like the ones you get from Amazon). I guess I should have experimented on more than 1 song! I tried several MP3s today and all but the VBR MP3s searched both ways.. no big deal, just an interesting observation on the genesis audio system.
