When plugged into my car system, does the player shut itself off when the engine is shut off? Or if you unplug the earplug jack, does it shut off?

I have never used it in a vehicle but all that happens when the earphones are unplugged, is the screen lights up. To stop this devise, requires the operator to either touch the pause button or the power button.

If its attached via USB then yes, it shuts off then when you restart your car, it turns back on.

It does not shut off automatically, however there is a "sleep function" that you can activate after a certain period.

You likely have it in car mode where it turns off when unplugged. Take a good look through the settings.

Well I had mine shut off for two days. when I fired it up last night it started playing back the song right in the middle where it was when I had turned it off. It always starts playback where I left off and I have owned it for a week.

I have not had that issue. Does your car outlet go off when your car's off? I have two outlets on my console, one turns off with the car and one remains active. I plug into my always active port so if it's in the base it's charging.

The only way it turns off is if you unplug it from the cigarette lighter plug. You can change the settings so the screen doesn't stay on for more than a minute when it is first plugged in. I use that time to check the camera views to make sure it is recording where I want it to. It hardly uses any battery power, especially if the screen has timed out as I left mine on for a week trip when I left it in the airport parking lot. Car started right up.

You must turn it off, however if you do you may get battery drain. I always leave mine in loud mode, then turn it off when I start the engine, then turn it back to loud if/when I want it loud.

It starts were it left off when using the earphones. It doesn't if you use it in the car.

It shuts off if left unattended for two minutes - you manually turn this on and format it to the instrument you are playing and then shut it off once you have finished tuning...if you do not turn it off and you leave it clipped to your (guitar for ex.)it will keep reading what you play...and use up the battery too....

When the key is turned off, the screen shuts down as long as you are using the plug that goes directly into the car's plug.

yes-it does shut off! I use mine as a demo unit at my local swap meet-I play 15-20 lps a day-and the only issue I currently have is that the internal motor drive belt has stretched-causing a slower play! I can repair that easily-but the unit itself is durable- i am going to purchase another portable unit in the future! very happy with the crosley line of record players-plus they stand by their products!

If the player normally powers up, just unplug it for about a minute and then plug it back in. If it hasn't powered up, it's got a serious problem and needs to be looked at. I've got 2 of these and I do have "issues" with them every once in a while but it's always been solved by unplugging the unit for awhile.

All of the ports on the bottom are a little off. The little tabs in the bottom never stay in. By unplugs, do you mean the sound gets disconnected? If so, that doesn't seem like a case problem, but either a phone or headphone problem. If I am understanding this wrong please clarify.I have headphones that have a large plug, or near the end of the plug... they stay in just fine.

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.

The units are battery powered; cigarette lighter cord only function is to keep the battery charged. So if you keep battery charged properly, AND DO NOT POWER DOWN THE UNIT WHEN YOU STOP VIEWING YOUR DVD, then the unit will Resume your DVD at the point you were viewing before you turned the player "off" (stopped it)--assuming you do NOT switch the main power switch (upper right) of the player to Off. The battery in the player will keep the DVD 'memory' active and hold your Resume place until it goes dead (about 2 hours or so.)

You have to unplug it when you turn off the engine or the car battery will be drained, but when the engine was running, it never quit even on long trips.

That would be my big problem. If your car doesn't turn off that plug when the car is off it will stay on and run your battery down. So I've had to have my car jumped a few times when I forgot to turn it off. And that's bad for your battery.

You can unplug the unit and it will not operate. If you want to leave the unit plugged in, you can change the jumper settings so it doesn't match the transmitter or turn the volume way down. But there is no on-off switch on the outside of the case.
