The answer should be in the user's manual.

Good suggestion, Dom!  Offhand, I don't recall details like that, but at the moment I don't remember where I have it, so it will have to wait for me to check!!

I suggest you try the "pause" button instead of "stop".  My machine works like this:  if I use pause and walk away for a length of time, the machine will turn on a screen saver first and then shut off altogether.  All I have to do is use the "play" button again and it turns the machine on and starts the DVD where I paused it. 

Hmmm...I'm gonna try this w/my recorder, thanks!  ;)

I'm still puzzled by why it sometimes works the one way and at other times, the other way.  If it's supposed to go back to 0, all right, but then why does it sometimes stay put?!!!

I'm like you, I can't figure out why it works on the player upstairs but not the recorder (or for that matter, the old player I used to have) downstairs.  Nor do I understand why, for my machine upstairs, why the remote is the key.  Add to this, my parents DVD player will start the unfinished DVD where it left off even if they take it OUT of the machine.  Truly boggles my mind!   :-

Wow! Thanks for the screen cap! The third menu looks gorgeous! I've been wondering if they were going to change it as I recently finished boxset 18 and am getting damn tired of the mausoleum. I really though the very first version of the first menu was the best. (Like in boxset 1) It looked classier, even if it is hard to read on a normal size television.

The menus in the new "The Beginning" sets are certainly my favorite.  See my comments on them in the topic on cover art.  I love the video clips.
