Getting Started—Continued

Resume and Last Memory

With the exception of DVD-Audio and SACD discs, when you stop playback of a disc, 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 play- back 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.)

DVD disc menus

Many DVD-Video and DVD-Audio discs feature menus from which you can select what you want to watch. They may also give access to additional features, such as subtitle and audio language selection, or special features such as slideshows. See the disc packaging for details. Sometimes DVD-Video menus are displayed automati- cally when you start playback; others only appear when you press MENU or TOP MENU.

If you take a VCD out of the player after stopping play- back, 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 (except VR mode DVD-RW), the player stores the play position of the last five discs. When one of these discs is next loaded, you can resume playback.

Notes:

The Last Memory function doesn’t work with VR for- mat DVD-RW, DVD-Audio or SACD 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.
