Memorizing a Last Memory location to return to later

1 Press LAST MEMORY during play.

The “LAST MEMORY” indicator lights on the player.

2 Press to turn the power to standby, or stop playback with STOP 7.

Once memorized, the memorized point on a DVD will be recalled even if the power is turned off, or if the disc is ejected. Points on up to five DVDs can be memorized, and those points are recalled the next time they are played back.

With Video CDs, the location in playback where LAST MEMORY was pressed is cleared when the disc is changed or ejected.

Resuming playback from where LAST MEMORY was pressed

1 Load a disc that has a Last Memory point memorized.

Some DVDs will start playback automatically when loaded. In this case, press STOP 7 to stop playback.

When a Last Memory location is registered for a Video CD, the location is cleared when the disc is changed or ejected.

2 Press LAST MEMORY while in the stop mode.

The disc begins playback at the memorized point.

Last Memory mode may not function for some DVDs.

If you register more than five DVDs, details of the latest disc are memorized, while details of the least recent disc (the disc you registered first) is erased.

Even with a disc you have memorized with Last Memory, playback begins at the start of the disc if you press PLAY 3 (unless RESUME is showing in the display).

This function is for playback of DVDs or Video CDs only. You cannot use it with CDs.

To clear the Last Memory location

Call up the Last Memory location by pressing LAST MEMORY. Then press CLEAR while “Last Memory” is still being displayed on the screen.

The “LAST MEMORY” indicator disappears from the display.
