If turned off while DVD plays, when back on does it automatically resume at the same spot on the DVD, or must you hunt for the location on DVD again?

If you PAUSE viewing will readily resume playing by pressing "Pause" again or "Play".Most of movies allow for stopping and continue from where you left on the next day, however the equipment turn OFF automatically if you do not proceed so, you will loose the exact point of interruption. On the other side most of Asian dramas do not allow more than momentary "PAUSE" interruptiions and to resume you must search for the place you stoped. -Cinavia protection? = I never heard of that... what is it ?Hope I have been useful to you.

if you actually turn off the power button it restarts the dvd. If you just hit the stop then it will play from where you stopped it but you have to hit play twice.

I guess I'm going to have to change my viewing habits. I always hit stop playing dvds so that the laser wasnt being left "on". Pause is brutal on laser longevity; red or blue.

Yes - and I have even stopped the disc, opened the player, replaced the batteries, closed it and had it start up again at the spot where it had stopped.

Depending on how the programing is formatted... on my MP3 DIY programs, the only way to resume is to "pause" the playback & leave the player on. If the power switch is turned off, the playback doesn't always start from where it was paused. What's even more annoying is that the "skip" forward or backwards does the same thing... restarts from the beginning! Your results may be different, but this is how my MP3 DIY programs work. Really not an issue, once I figured out the workaround. :)

WTH!My HD DVD players will start at the point where you stop it.Of course since they don't make HD DVD any more because Sony cornered the market on High Definition DVD's we're stuck with their problematic Bluray disc players.And why can't they make a bluray that can also play a HD DVD?Anyway thanks for the feedback Knocker!

Try to pause the DVD instead of using the stop button when you plan to return to a DVD. Then turn it off. Stopping tells the player you're done, pause tells it you'll be back.

I'm not aware of any Blu-ray player on the market that will resume play after opening the disc tray. Is your Sony player a Blu-ray player? Does it resume on Blu-ray discs? You only said it resumes on DVDs. If so, please share the model number with us.

My experience is that it does NOT have a restart feature. Press stop and the laser returns to the CD's starting point. You can PAUSE and PLAY but not restart.

I usually pause the dvd if I have not finished before turning it off, and I think it usually does. But I have not removed it from the player.

It should work if you run it in "Repeat All Disc"? Or at least it should work for DVD Audio.Just curious ... why is it so important to run DVD-video discs (assume that's what you were asking) 1 thru 5 automatically? You would have to be in front of your TV watching it any way... it's just 1 click to jump to next disc.

Sorry but I will need more information. What do you mean by "stop after 15 min" ? Was it no power at all or would not play a DVD? I have been using my Sony for years and occasionally have to unplug it and replug it in to clear internal glitches, but other than that I have had no trouble at all.

Yes, this unit has a "hold" switch you can click on to keep your place during interruptions. I think it can resume playing movies at the same point where you left off even if you don't click on hold, but I'm not sure if it can with TV episodes on DVD.

I think that is inherent with all CD players. If you hit the "Play/Pause" button it should save your place on the CD so that when you hit the same button again it will continue where you left off. The "Stop" button does just that--stops the CD completely and starts over.

It depends completely upon the DVD you are trying to play in a loop! You can set the "loop" function, but roughly half of the DVDs in our (large) collection just go to the end of the first play and stop, ignoring the "loop" or "repeat" setting. That's the reality, despite what some will say below. And it doesn't depend on the DVD manufacturer, either. Believe me, my wife and I have tried for a few years to get DVDs to play in a loop, and it is NOT a reliable feature with some DVDs. We separate the "will loop" and "won't loop" on the shelf next to the TV, if we want to leave something playing on and on. Luckily, a few of our favorite movies loop forever (unless there's a power failure)! It depends completely upon the DVD you are trying to play in a loop!
