Is there a resume function? Can someone please let me know if there's a resume function: if you stop a movie, can you resume where you left off if you turn the unit off?

No, it doesn't. VERY annoying. just about EVERY other portable DVD player can do this, but not this one. very lame. also, the battery pack was designed horribly. expect the 3 tiny tabs to break eventually that hold it onto the back of the player. when it lies flat, the design causes constant torque away from the player and puts unnecessary pressure on the plastic tabs. oh, and the the max volume on this player is way too quiet. I will definitely not buy another Philips portable dvd player.

I read that you can stop the player and start it again from the same place, BUT NOT if you turn the unit off; then it goes back to the beginning.

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!!

If you hit stop and then turn off player, when you turn it back on will the movie resume where it left off? Thanks.

Yes it has a pause/resume button. The usb and sd card does not come with this as it states it does and I don't have either so I don't know if it will work with the cards but I would assume it would.

To clarify, yes, it will automatically save the position if you are just playing a DVD. Alternatively, if you are streaming from Netflix and return the next day to watch a partly-viewed movie from the "Recently viewed" queue, then Netflix gives you the option of either resuming from your last position or starting the movie over. The SONY handles either way just fine.

Yes it can resume and like R. Marshall said it does depend on the movie(way blu ray was encoded). For the most part though it will resume. I believe this is also the case with all blu ray players now.

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.

Yes you can stop a movie, turn it off, and turn it back on & start where you left off

Does player support video break point. When power is cut & than turned back on again... Can movie start from the point where it was cut? Do I need to program it everytime or is once enough? Power, program & that's all?

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.

If you want it to resume playing, just touch play/pause. If you don't want it to resume at the point you quit, press Stop twice. It will pick up where you left off, even if you remove the disk and reinsert it later. Does this answer your question? I'm not certain I know what you're asking.

If you pause it then shut it off it will keep your place. Even after charging when it usually returns to the spot that says music you can always resume where you left off. It saves it. Hope this was helpful? I love it myself?

If you press the stop button to turn off the machine, it will resume at the point where it stopped. If you open the case to replace the batteries or for any other reason--even after pressing stop--play will resume at the beginning of the disc.

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.

This product has a hold feature, but does not allow for resume in the sense that your looking for( such as kindle readers etc ). However, if you don't mind a little work, you can always convert each chapter into it's own mp3 and then burn them all to disk. This will allow you to listen to one chapter at a time, skip a chapter, program which chapter you wish to read, or hold/pause a chapter. You can not turn the player off and come back to the spot you left off at. But, by converting each chapter to it's own mp3, you can avoid having to listen to the entire book again when you turn the player back on. You will only need to start at the beginning of the chapter you left off at. To get the feature you are looking for unfortunately, you will have to have a kindle type reader. I hope this answers your question.

When you pause the dvd, just hit the pause button again and it will resume where you left off. However, if you've turned the machine off and left the dvd in it, it might resume to the same frame as long as you didn't open the drawer. I could be wrong but just try it.

Did you find a player with a resume play feature? I want one, too, but can't find one.

Yes, this player has auto-resume, at least on DVD/Blu-Ray. If you turn power off while playing a disc, when you turn the power back on and select Movie, then disc, the disc will resume playing where it was when the power was turned off.
