I didn't see this fact in any of the other reviews of this player. I have had it for about 24 hours. My discovery is that there is no way to resume playing a disc after the power is turned off. In other words, if you watch a dvd and decide you want to stop for awhile, the player has no function which allows you to resume from the point at which you stopped--if you've turned the power off.
Believe me, I tried everything. The bookmark feature looked promising until I read the information that all bookmarks are reset when the power is turned off.
I have never seen a dvd player that didn't have the resume feature--no matter how inexpensive.
The pluses of this player--primarily the georgous screen and the remote--do not compensate for the omission of this feature. In fact, a portable player would certainly seem to be subject to watching for awhile, then stopping and then re-starting. How cumbersome to have to sort through the dvd menu--assuming your dvd has one!--to try and find the place where you left off.
Were it not for the ommission of this feature, I would have rated this player as 4 stars, and would have definitely kept it.
