Resuming playback
The player can memorize the position on a disc where you interrupt playback, and resume playback from that position later. There are three resume modes; ON, OFF and DISC RESUME. The mode is initially set to ON when you purchased the player.
•You can select the mode using the preference display (see page 28).
When the resume mode is “ON”
When you press 7, the player stops playback and memorizes the interrupted position. The TV screen shows “RESUME STOP” and the RESUME indicator lights up in the display window.
The memory of the interrupted position is not cleared if you turn off the player.
When you turn off the player after setting the resume function, simply press 3. The player is turned on, and playback starts from the interrupted position.
Note that the memory is cleared if you open the disc tray.
