Have any of you had any odd reactions to the scrolling text ability of the
C90 and it's CD-Text capabilities? I've noticed that ever since I've owned
my C90 that it's scrolling capabilities have rarely worked and I always
figured it was because of the software I was using to burn CD-Text CD's and
not the fault of the hardware. However I also noticed the other day when I
first hooked up my PB that the scrolling feature did work, albeit for one
song, and since then has gone back to normal, with the text frozen at the
maximum viewable characters shown on the on screen display.

Hmm, while Matt has pointed out some very specific details about the Phatbox
scrolling problems, I'm curious as to what problems you're encountering with
CD-Text encoded CDs which should work fine.
Keep in mind you have to have the A.Scrl feature enabled on the HU (I'm sure
you do) and then the C90's normal behavoiur is this:
Track titles scroll once whenever the track changes, automatically. After
scrolling once, the scrolling stops. Why Sony didn't do continuous
scrolling is a mystery but that's the way it is on Sony mobile gear. This
is the same for CD-Text changers as well as a CD-Text disc in the HU's CD
drive. With a changer you can also use the LIST up feature to see CD-Text
disc titles from a changer, BUT they will never scroll using the LIST
feature. Furthermore assigning a CustomFile disc title eliminates the
CD-Text disc title (not on the disc of course, just in the UniLink system).
The reason you would want to assign a CustomFile title, however, is because
without doing that you cannot assign disc-specific sound customisations (DSP
File).
CD-Text titles will also scroll if you cycle through the DISP modes and land
back at a scrollable text title. Additionally you can scroll by activating
scroll in the menu (not sure how this works on the C90) or on newer units by
using the dedicated/discrete "SCROLL" button located on the HU or remote.
Usually CD-Text problems on CD-Rs, caused by the disc being improperly
burned somehow, will result in no text being read at all and not scrolling
problems. I.e. if the text on a particular CD works, the scrolling should
be unaffected.
