UPDATE:
Got a couple of sugglestions over on the Adobe forum. I tried reauthoring at 740×480, and in 0.9, 1.2, and for the heck of it, 1.0 par too. No effect there. I’ve been trying to author at the highest possible quality since the screen claims a max res of 1366×768, and the player is able to output 1260×780. The way the language reads in my documentation, it looks like the 740×480 only refers to the coordinates of the touch sensitive aspect of the screen. But I’m not seeing any noticeable quality difference by scaling back to standard definition.

There is no change with scaling or not scaling the image on the settings, and the core resolution isn’t adjustable with the built in menus. Presumably it would be if I were hooking it up to a CPU, but not in this instance. Scaling back the output from the DVD player to 740 x 480 did have some effect, but it just made the buttons misregister in slightly different locations.

I also contacted Cybertron, who said that this is a known issue that they got a lot of complaints about when they first released the product. However, that’s been several years ago and “they’re really just hardware people.” At least I know I’m not crazy, but I’m getting there quick! I suspect I’ll have to create “button covers” so that the user is at least touching where the system wants, even if it’s not the area I really intended. It’s tedious, and I know it’s not the right way to do it, but I’m running out of ideas and time.

One more odd bug that I’ve found is that I’ve set all of the menus to return to my “Home” screen after 5 minutes, and the player just doesn’t see that command at all.
