Hmm, AFAIK, the 702 does this. Ie, you can hit "forward" on the last track to go
to
track #1.
My 7900R car-head has the same behauviour as the portables......

Don't know, I've got a 702 and I don't like the looks of the remote. It's easy
to control one-handed however. Sony's stick remote looks cool, but....

It makes the unit thicker... But I like it. I don't know if it is less flimsy or
less prone to breakage, but I feel that Sony should give the customer a choice.
Do like Sharp and provide all units 'double', Ie, one with clam-shell and one
with slot-in. (7xx vs 8xx serie).
