Electrocompaniet EMC-1: let's talk?


"The history of the player is:
24/96 (original)
24/192 (upgraded DAC)
24/192 UP (upgraded DAC plus various internal component upgrades).

The "SE" and "MKII" designations refer to the 24/192 UP and 24/192 players. Neither of these are actually official names given by Electrocompaniet. Someone (dealer or customer) referred to the EMC-1 players as "SE" and "MKII" some months back and the names just kinda' stuck."
The above from the horse's mouth, an authorized dealer. After having gone through hell selling my Dodson 217 MK II D, competing w/guys mistakenly advertising their units w/out mentioning they were upgraded and not the latest model, I'm a bit sensitive to mis-categorizations, no matter how innocent. (Anyone playing these games should be pilloried in front of an array of Bose speakers).

Sorry if the response is not related with the above subject, but i´m new in this forum and have an urgent question.
I´ve recently bought an EMC-1 UP (¡marvelous sound!) and suddenly realized that I cannot check the remaining time for a track. I can only check the total remaining time of the entire CD.
Is this normal?
Why is not available this option from the remote control?
It sounded very strange for me.

Thanks
Hshapiro, thanks for your quick response.
You´re right, that option still is not included in the newest players. (I bought it on December 2002) and I am writing from Spain.
I agree with you, it is incredible they have not fixed this feature yet.
Although in my opinion, is not of such importance as to make you change your buying of this superb CD player, every time I pick up my remote control to view the remaining time of a track in a 4100 playe and get nothing, I feel totally upset.
May be is a silly question cause I´m not a specialist, but Could this failure be solved through a change of hardware pieces or the remote control? or I will have to trust forever in the tracks time showed on CD covers ?
