Resuming playback

The unit can memorize the position on a disc where you interrupt playback, and resume playback from that position later.

You can select the mode using the preference display (see page 28).

When you press 7, the unit 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 unit.

When you turn off the unit after setting the resume function, simply press 3. The unit is turned on, and playback starts from the interrupted position. If you turn on the unit by pressing STANDBY/ON then press 3, playback starts from the beginning of the disc.
