if you shut the player off in the middle of playing a dvd, when you start it up again, does it resume playing the dvd from where you left off??

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.

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!!

I have had these for two years, and it is my experience that when you turn the car on, after turning it off during a movie, *after a certain point* on your disk, it plays from that point. (about 5 mins into the movie, past the previews?) BUT, if you open the disk unit, it will always reset.

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

One important clarification - it remembers the file you were on and starts playing it from the beginning, but if you were listening to, say, a lecture which is 1+ hours long, it won't remember where you stopped, so it will start it over from the beginning. You have NO way to fast forward (only skip), which is why I'll be returning mine.

If you are asking while you are burning a DVD and want to stop it and start again, you can. But I am pretty sure it will start a new chapter on the DVD. I did this often while I put VCR tapes in and then if they were done, I would stop and put another VCR tape in and continue. But I had a chapter for each time you stopped and started. Also you can keep adding to the DVD until you finalize. Finalizing is necessary if you want to view the DVD on another DVD player. Hope this helps.

Yes, mine does this too. I just paid attention to the start up noises. There are two "clicks" followed by one "click". They are the same noises as when the DVD tray is closed.

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.

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.

Yes, it does. If you power off and leave the disk in, it will also resume playing when you turn the machine back on. This is setup in the menu.

There is an option in the settings menu to have the player play from where it left off or to start from the beginning. It's up to you.

Jenny: This is the 4th one of this type of DVD player I have purchased. We have never used ours while traveling, but if you power down, which I would assume you are doing, no they do not pick up where they left off. So we only use the scene selection to find as close to the scene where we left off when we go back to watching the movie. I hope this helps. They are very durable and very easy to use. The pink one I purchased for my granddaughter, I have a black one like it for me and a slightly larger one my husband uses in his "man cave" LOL. I also had one for several years, before it went bad where you plug in the charger. That is the only one we have had problems with and it had MANY hours use before this became an issue. Cindy

I have an MP3/CD player, not this brand. As long as it's on "pause" it will start from where it paused. If you turn it off, it starts over.

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. :)

So when the phone rings you eject the disc?? I just don't get it.... I have a feeling it's more complicated then the player just remembering a simple time stamp. Like I said this is something that can be added by firmware later on IFF there is a demand for it. I think most people are fine with it resuming play of only the disc in the drive.

Agree with previous response, yes it does turn off, I think its a design flaw, hopefully they will make newer version which will have some battery backup to cover moments like starting the car. But it does restart where it was, I did not have to do anything, not so for game DVDs, but movies yes.

Sorry, I have used the player just a couple of times and think it starts where I stopped it. Not tech savvy enough to experiment either .And then remember what I did !
