Yes, it picks up where it left off if you haven't pressed the STOP button on remote prior to the "off" event. Nice way to recover if there's a power outage or other event (e.g., damaged area on DVD with too many error-recovery tries) that stops the player temporarily.

No, turning the unit off will clear the memory. When it is powered on again, the unit resets to begin playback from the first track.

Yes. But it has a big problem of just shutting off. I play a movie and 15 minutes later it turns off and doesn't come back on unless I unplug it and plug it back in

It will play until you turn it off, so yes it will. It also has an option to set a timer for it to turn off on it's own but you do not have to set the timer if you want it to play all night.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean. But if you turn it off it will save your spot in a movie. Even if you take it out and put the same one back in.

J Spangler, you are right. The PET1002 can resume a movie if you press the STOP button; however, if you TURN OFF the movie, it will restart the dvd at the very beginning. I find this very annoying. It would be nice to be able to resume even after power has been shut off!!

Yes, you can turn off the screen while audio plays. Also, you can stream video to a compatible phone or tablet and keep the screen off as well.

If you hold the pause/hold button too long, it powers off. I will not pick up where you left off when recording or playing.

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.

yes. if you stop a disc and don't open the lid, the next time you push play it will resume where you left off. it resumes at the exact second where you pushed stop.

You can change the settings to have it start playing the movie where you left off when you start your car.

Once you press STOP, the player's laser returns to the disc's starting point and turns off. It does not resume from where you left off. You must use PAUSE and PLAY to do that which of course discharges your batteries.

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 know I can play any DVD on 1/4 fast forward and still hear the dialogue. Very useful for watching Les Miserables ;) Multi-disc resume? Do you mean that the player "bookmarks" the last scene viewed even if you've loaded and watched 3 or 4 more movies afterwards? If so, then, yes.

If it is installed correctly (specifically, one of the electrical connections must always have power), it will continue playing from where it left off. If you are in the middle of a video, turn the car off, and leave the screen open, when you start the car again, it will automatically turn on and start playing where it left off, without doing anything.

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.

These players unlike many others have internal batteries. So if you turn off the car the players won't shut off (as long as you have charged them before hand- note they come with wall chargers so you can charge them at home) Then when you are in your car you can connect them to the cig lighter so it won't use up the internal battery. When you turn the car off it automatically switches to the internal batteries so the units do not shut off. HOWEVER it the item does shut off (either cause it doesn't have a battery charge or because you turn the power off manually) - then no, it doesn't remember where you left off and it it will start from the beginning. I tested this several times and each time I powered off the unit (I literally switched the power to off) then it started the movie from the beginning. So in summary if the unit shuts off then it won't remember where you left off and it will start from the beginning.
