Faster playback reliably raised perceived audiovisual distortions and modestly reduced satisfaction; in Study 1 viewers were more satisfied at 1x (M = 4.17) than at 1.25x (M = 3.82, p = 0.011); the speaker was rated more positively at 1x (M = 4.44) than at 1.25x (4.24) or 1.5x (4.20), marginally significant (p = 0.055), and in Study 2b 1x beat 1.25x on speaker rating (p = 0.022).
