DVD Player with a Good "Resume" Function

Hi,



About 4 years ago, I bought a KLH DVD player (model KD-1220). The only thing I don't like about it is the "resume" function. If you watch part of a DVD movie, and you want to resume watching it a day or two later, you have to leave the power on (you press "stop", but leave the power on).



Can you recommend a DVD player that has a good "resume" function (remembers where you stopped) without leaving the power turned on?



Thanks in advance, Brad

I've had a Toshiba 220 for a year or so; this allows you to switch the player off (while playing) and it will carry on from where you stopped it.

Probably other Toshiba units will work the same way.

Is that because it keeps a memory of where you last left off, or because you're not really turning the power off when you press the power switch and it goes into standby?

What happens if you unplug the toshiba?

Most/all DVD players are not completely powered off when the power button is pressed. The laser and motors are turned off but some circuits remain active to resume where you left off. My Sony players have resume functions that work well. And one even has multi-disc resume - it remembers where you were on each disc you remove.

I've no idea. I use "switch off" to mean switch off at the front panel or via the remote. Along with everything else, it remains connected to the mains.
