Playing Discs
The basic playback controls for playing DVD, CD, SACD, Video CD and MP3/WMA discs are covered here. Further
functions are detailed in the next chapter.
For details on playing JPEG picture discs, see “Viewing a JPEG Slideshow” on page 41.
Important:
Throughout this manual, the term “DVD” means DVD-Video, DVD-Audio and DVD-R/ RW. If a function is specific
to a particular kind of DVD disc, it is specified.
Note:
• You may find with some DVD discs that some play-
back controls don’t work in certain parts of the disc.
This is not a malfunction.
With the DVD-Video, Video CD and Audio CD, when
you stop playback of a disc, RESUME is shown in the
display indicating that you can resume playback again
from that point.
If the disc tray is not opened, the next time you start
playback the display shows RESUME and playback
resumes from the resume point. (If you want to clear the
resume point, press (stop) while RESUME is dis-
played.)
If you take a VCD out of the player after stopping play-
back, the last play position is stored in memory. If the
next disc you load is the same one, the display shows
LAST MEM and playback will resume. For DVD-Video
discs (except VR mode DVD-RW), the player stores the
play position of the last five discs. When one of these
discs is next loaded, you can resume playback.
Notes:
• The Last Memory function doesn’t work with VR for-
mat DVD-RW, DVD-Audio or SACD discs.
• If you don’t need the Last Memory function when you
stop a disc, you can press OPEN/CLOSE to stop
playback and open the disc tray.
