Peace....
Yes.

The RP56 has a flicker bug caused by a mistake made with the implementation of the Faroudja chipset. What it does is that in some scenes, very bright reds may appear to flash (flicker). Bear in mind that this is subtle. It is caused by the cross color supression being set too high. That's what the 'Secrets' site says is the cause. To be honest, I am not sure what that means. :p

I own this player and have owned a player with the chroma bug. In my opinion, the flicker bug is by far the lesser of the two evils. For me it is not as noticeable and doesn't rear its ugly head as often as the chroma bug.
