Avoid high temperatures
• Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight or place it near a
heating device.
Notes on installation
• Select a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor too
cold between 5°C and 35°C (41°F and 95°F).

Resuming playback
The unit can memorize the position on a disc where you interrupt
playback, and resume playback from that position later.
There are three resume modes; ON, OFF and DISC RESUME.
The mode is initially set to ON when you purchased the unit.
• You can select the mode using the preference display (see
page 23).
When the resume mode is “ON”
When you press 7, the unit stops playback and memorizes the
interrupted position. The TV screen shows [RESUME STOP] and
the “RESUME” indicator lights up in the display window.
The memory of the interrupted position is not cleared if you turn
off the unit.
When you turn off the unit after setting the resume function,
simply press 3. The unit is turned on, and playback starts from
the interrupted position. If you turn on the unit by pressing
STANDBY/ON then press 3, playback starts from the beginning
of the disc.
Note that the memory is cleared if you open the disc tray.
To change the display window contents
Press DISPLAY.
Example: for DVD VIDEO

NOTES
• If you change the [RESUME] setting from [DISC RESUME] to
[OFF] or [ON], you cannot resume playback of a disc whose
“resuming” position is stored. However, when you again set
[RESUME] to [DISC RESUME], you will then be able to resume
playback of the disc.
• If you interrupt the playback of a disc for which an interrupted
position has already been stored, the memory will be updated
with the new interrupted position.
• For a double-sided DVD VIDEO disc, the unit regards each side
as a different disc. Therefore, to resume playback of such a
disc, the disc must be inserted with the same side down.
• When the unit memorizes an interrupted point for a disc, it also
memorizes Audio, Subtitle and Angle settings.
• The unit may not resume playback exactly from the intterupted
point. In the case of an SVCD/Video CD disc with PBC function,
the unit may resume playback from a point slightly earlier or
later than the point where playback was interrupted.
