Resume Feature on Blu-Ray discs: Can anyone confirm if this player can resume playback after playback has been stopped or the player turned off when using Blu-ray discs?

I"ve been wondering the same thing. According to the manual, it has a resume function. I bought 2 of the 570 players 2 weeks ago and haven't been able to resume playback on any bluray yet. They all start playing from the beginning of the disc. Don't know if it's the way I have it setup or if it just isn't available.

Thats dumb. I got a regular DVD player in 1998 and the DVD resumed fine back then. I think thats crazy that the Bludiscs dont have that feature.

Apparently its a format issue. Any disc with BD-Java encoding will not resume. I like the higher res of bluray but hate pretty much everything else about the format. It is not consumer friendly in the least.

Looking in on the subject - the problem is the disc maker and the software used. They have to put the resume play on the disc. I got a Samsung 1500 and only one title "Wanted" will resume. All Disney, Dreamworks, a WB will not. Check out the player's marking to see if it helps. I have been asking Samsung if a firmware update could fix the blu-ray disc's failure to authorize resume. Then again, Sony just might have fixed the whole system to prevent firmware work-arounds. Go figure.

All features with this player have been functional from the beginning. I have had no problems with things so far. Hope you find your solution. M.

I have the same player you have and have played those very same blu ray dvd's I would unplug the player.wait a few min. allow it to reboot........andtry it again if all else fails...I would try a different disc from that collection.and If that doest work you may have gotten a defective set of discs.

There is a pause/play button I haven't tried it with anything but the cd. My only issue so far is not being able to see display in sun. Also had issue with "standard" install hole not lining up during install. I really like the player, though.

I had this problem with Netflix discs. Note that there is a second firmware update, which might help. Also, when I talked to Sharp, they suggested I unplug the player, and then run the setup and select the reset option. That seems to work, also. I've just ordered another blu-ray from Netflix. I'm hoping the new firmware update fixes the "locking" problem.

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.

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.

Confirming that this one does not resume CDs or MP3-CDs. My car player does, of course--I suppose that's standard with them. I also have an old Rio portable CD/MP3-CD player, that does, but it has no speakers---so I can actually team it up with this Panasonic using a simple audio cable, and have resume.

I forgot I posted this. We noticed that it is significantly less loud when playing a dvd vs a blu ray. Trying to decide if we should return it and get a different one or not. So if anyone has this please let me know is you BR player loud?

If somebody finds a system that will resume the CD playback please do post here. I am on the lookout for one with that feature.

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. :)

Does the player have an automatic return to stop when the record is finished?

Darrell. That I know of, it doesn't function as a recorder. Play back only. Great multiregion playback of dvds and blus.

My player runs both bluray and dvd. It has never turned off by itself. Not sure what you mean about playback.
