Basic playback controls

The table below shows the basic controls on
the remote for playing discs. The following
chapter covers other playback features in more
detail.

Resume and Last Memory

With the exception of DVD-Audio and SACD
discs, when you stop playback of a DVD, CD,
Video CD 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 CDs, 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, DVD-Audio or
SACD discs.
