Resume and Last Memory

When you stop playback of a DVD, CD, Video CD/Super VCD or DivX video discs, RESUME is shown in the display indicating that you can resume playback again from that point.

If the disc tray is not opened, the next time you start playback the display shows RESUME and playback resumes from the resume point. (If you want to clear the resume point, press (stop) while RESUME is displayed.)

With DVDs and Video CD/Super VCDs, if you take the disc out of the player after stopping playback, the last play position is stored in memory. If the next disc you load is the same one, the display shows LAST MEM and playback will resume. For DVD-Video discs, the player stores the play position of the last five discs. When one of these discs is next loaded, you can resume playback.

Note

The Last Memory function doesn’t work with VR format DVD-RW discs.

If you don’t need the Last Memory function when you stop a disc, you can press OPEN/CLOSE to stop playback and open the disc tray.
