Ultraman DVD Set Defect?

[SaviniFan]

I was a BIG fan of the Ultraman series as a child and last week to my delight, I saw 2 new box sets in my local Best Buy. I picked up the first set and overall I'm very happy. The transfers are quite good and you have the option of watching in English dubbed or the original Japanese track. This is where the problem comes in however....

For nastalgia sake I chose the English track in the DVD menu before starting the first episode. Everything was fine until about 20 minutes in, it switched to the Japanese track. For about 2 scenes I attempted to use the audio button on my remote to switch it back but to no avail. Then it just decided to use the English track on it's own.

I've been through 8 episodes so far and I'm on DVD #2 of 3 in the set and the same problem occurs. I even tried it on a different player in my house as I know that sometimes incompatabilities arise from certain players. So I've tried on a Philips and JVC, leading me to believe this is an authoring issue. Seeing Brentwood had a hand in releasing these, somehow I'm not surprised.

Anyone else have these and are you experiencing the same issue? I really want to get the second set but this is a real pain.
