This is not a feature (or lack thereof) of the player. It is authored into the disks. Rather, it is NOT authored into HD-DVD's, though I have read that some new releases of Universal and Studio Canal have it. Use the bookmark feature; it's just like resume. If you doubt it, pop a standard dvd into your HD-DVD player and try it with that. You'll see it works just like it did on your old player.For the person that found the opposite thing in Blu-Ray, that's news to me. I think if you Google it you'll find it doesn't work for anyone else. Though as before, there may be some disks that have it. This is not a feature (or lack thereof) of the player.

I was watching breach last night on my xa2. Everytime i stopped playback it would act like a new movie go thru all the opening stuff and then if kept pressing play would eventually jump to where i had left off. Pretty frustrating.

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. :)

It locks you onto the channel when recording (Pause TV is a recording mode) because like most recorders, it does not have two channel tuners. You can switch back and forth between your TV tuner and Recorder tuner by running the RF Out of the Recorder to the TV's RF input, then use the Input select of your TV to select either the Recorder's input to the TV (from one of the Composite RCA or Component outputs of the recorder) or TV (RF coax output from the recorder. This works because the RF Output from the recorder is merely a pass-thru of it's RF Input, like a cable splitter).

Yes. You can press Start/stop to "pause" in both count up and timer mode. From there, you can either press Clear to start over, or press Start/stop again to resume.

The intention of this feature is to enable the television to return to it's powered on state when electrical power to the television is lost and restored. If you are watching your television during a storm and their is intermittent power loss, when the power comes back, the television will turn on if it was turned on when the power is lost.Yes, this is how we can use our cable boxes to control the televisions. As it has been pointed out, it only works if your television is getting its AC power from the cable box (meaning there is an AC outlet on the box that you plug your TV). It's nothing more than that and not a feature specific to cable boxes.

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!!

Hi.. I do not have this issue. My TV powers up to the TV picture. I am guessing it's in the start up settings but have not had to deal with it. I responded so you would know that you can change it. this is an awesome TV. Everyone who comes over comments on how great the picture is, so you made a great choice

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.

The player has a pause button on it and you can pause as long as you like but if you hit the stop button and turn the machine off - hoping to resume it will go back to the beginning. No resume button.

I haven't noticed it rebooting. If I turn off the tv my show is still paused when I turn the tv back on. It could be the tv, if it doesn't keep constant power to the mhl port when off.

No, my KVM looses video altogether. If I recycle the monior power or move from switch to switch, it comes back on for a few moments. Worked fine for 6 months then began this feature. I was pleased with performance up until then.

Unplug the power and plug it back in. If you don't see a picture, it might be stuck in the wrong video mode. If it is, you might not be able to fix it without plugging it into a television that supports the mode it is currently in.

Ello Peter ... there's a toggle switch on the front of the monitor ... which honestly I've never used, as I've only ever had one device with it. I've either had my PC plugged into the DVI port - or - now - currently - I'm using it as a short term solution till I figure out which tv I'm going to purchase next. Thanks.

Look at the front of the unit. Notice the center main button? Above that is another (toggle) that looks like this &gt;II. This is the pause button which will stop the music. If you pause the music and turn off the unit, when you turn it on again you are still in pause mode and music will not play until you toggle that mode to start playing once more. This will also show up on the bottom of the display to the left of the timeline as &gt; or &gt;II for play mode or pause. You can stop the music by simply turning the unit off, this causes no damage. When you power on again the music resumes where you left off.

Yes, in either of 2 ways: 1) If you programmed a recording, you can begin watching before it ends 2) While watching live TV, it remembers prior 30 minutes automatically. You can pause for up to 30 minutes and resume. You can also rewind if you missed something. Just don't get more than 30 minutes behind in "Live" mode.

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

I found that this is not the case. You cannot turn the unit off and have it restart where you left off. I listen to a lot of podcast and audiobooks. For example, if you're listening to a 45 min podcast and turn it off halfway through, you will need to restart the podcast. FF and rewind on the unit are so bad that they should be considered useless.
