Ability to pause and restart ? From some other posts elsewhere, it would appear that if you switch video sources on the TV, and/or pause it restarts the video at the beginning - is this right ?

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.

Not to be stupid, but will this camera pause? I mean can you pause while recording and then start again without it being a new movie? Thanks

It records continuously "in the background" in a 6-hour buffer (last 6 hours you've tuned to), so when you're watching live TV and want to replay or save something, you press PAUSE, which freezes the pic at that point. When you want to resume watching that show, you press PLAY and you'll see the remaining part that you missed while paused. You'll be in "Chase Play" mode, which allows you to skip commercials, etc. until you catch back up to the live show. The help file on Pause Live TV is here: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showpost.php?p=17689346 An index of info and help files is here (you only need to read and bookmark PAGE 1): http://www.avsforum.com/t/940657/magnavox-515-513-2160a-2160-2080-philips-3576-3575#post_12244086

Evidently unplugging the TV reboots the software, and sets the TV back to its initial factory settings. I do the same thing with my Sony 3D player from time to time since it sometimes pauses briefly while watching a movie and it can be fixed by unplugging it.

Hi all,I just got the unit and it does switch well. I have one problem though: once I operate the source linked to OUTPUT B (pause, click DVD menu, ...), the unit shuts off the B output and I have to reset it or reselect the B source each time ! Since it takes 5s for the unit to sync each time you select something, this is getting annoying ! It does not "lock" into the setup I want.Can I disable the "smart" input recognition/crap ?Thanks.

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.

My earlier answer was erroneous. After reading the Charles Lohr reply I confirmed that in fact during playback you can adjust playback speed using the plus & minus buttons after pressing the OK button a second time (the first time starts playback). It seems to retain the last playback speed selection even after shutting down.

I haven't been able to pause the stopwatch mode once it started. There may be a way, but I have not stumbled upon it yet. It just rolls on. :-/

It has a stop/start button, but no pause. It's easy to set and reset though, whether it's for nap time, tv time, or bedtime. Hope this helps! We like ours. :)

Yes, I do it all the time. I turn the TV and HD box on set on the channel I want to record, then set up the timer recording (I always use the Auto mode so it uses the whole disc and makes for a better picture). After everything is set to go, I turn off the TV while leaving the HD box on. Works like a charm!

If you are playing a video of course you can pause it and resume it. If you are talking to do that while you are recording a video I did not see that option.

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.

It doesnt pause. When you stop and restart, it's recorded as a new video on the card. Windows Movie Maker works excellent for piecing the clips back together.

Yes you can. You select the channel and press the S/S button, when you are ready for it to restart you just press the S/S button again.

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.

Yes. If you have it set to a certain color or mode, when you turn it back on it will be at that mode. I'm pretty sure the mode will reset though (to the beginning of it.).

D., I stopped in the middle of playing a DVD. I waited 2 minutes then pressed the play button. The DVD began playing right where I had left off, so no, it does not go back to the beginning. One important thing is to familiarize yourself with which button on the remote does what. One of them will take you right back to the beginning.Hope this helps!
