Does it have resume play? Is it free from Cinavia protection?

If you PAUSE viewing will readily resume playing by pressing "Pause" again or "Play".Most of movies allow for stopping and continue from where you left on the next day, however the equipment turn OFF automatically if you do not proceed so, you will loose the exact point of interruption. On the other side most of Asian dramas do not allow more than momentary "PAUSE" interruptiions and to resume you must search for the place you stoped. -Cinavia protection? = I never heard of that... what is it ?Hope I have been useful to you.

I contacted Sony support and this is what they said:"I'm sorry that the resume playback feature of the Blu-ray Disc player does not work. Sometimes, the player may not resume playback depending on the disc or stop point."Not very helpful. Not sure yet if this happens on all BD disc but it happens on Casino Royal, which is Sony produced... Very lame IMO.

Not as far as I can tell. I've dumped my entire bluray collection to 2 5TB drives using MakeMKV where I preserve all the tracks without reencoding or anything like that. I haven't had any trouble whatsoever playing anything even known Cinavia protected movies like Amazing Spider-ManI don't think you have anything to worry about. Cinavia is only a requirement for BluRay players and since this doesn't have a BluRay drive you're in good shape

Where did you by the sound drivers and how much?I finally got mine working but before Brian's post. He is correct' as best I can tell, and the problem rests with our computer software. I purchased a " DVD Decoder" download load on line from Roxio (I paid $20.98 but you can get it for a one time only down load for about $15 -if that is what you want). It now plays DVD movies and installs software which is what I wanted. I uninstalled the Hero program from my computer. Happy with the results but I only wish that I had been able to read Brian James post before I purchased the fix.

Yes it can resume and like R. Marshall said it does depend on the movie(way blu ray was encoded). For the most part though it will resume. I believe this is also the case with all blu ray players now.

Never had that problem.. I did not update firmware due to me wanting to not have the crappy cineV junk on it. Are you sure the firmware update is not the reason? How was it playing before that update? If it was playing ok before then I would try to download the firmware again if you are able to.

remove chip and playback on computer. as a warning; after i downloaded the required program (CCCP) to playback the video, i began getting mega pop-ups. i wish i had not bought it. it has turned out to be a POS

Yes, it does have play back, and it does play CDs. Another great feature, is that you don't have to use CD recortibles with the audio logo.

I've had mine for a couple weeks, listening primarily to Audible.com books. So far, it's been the best I've found (aside from an iPod) with resume (interestingly, if the sleep timer shuts off the system, when you turn it back on, you don't need to hit play: it just starts playing where it left off). I haven't tried with any books using a DRM system yet, though.

Hello there, I have m2v files that it plays, so I have to assume it can play m4v. There are very few files that this media player cannot play. RealMedia may be the only exception, although I have played RMVB files on it. It does support resume. I have paused it on a video file and I was able to come back to it and pick up where it left off. This is all I know, I hope it was helpful. Take care.

There is no play list, it continuously plays. Very basic but it works great for the money.

Yes, if you hit stop once or hit pause. Then turn off. I have had no problems with this player.

Yes, if you pause it I believe it resumes from there. I bought mine for my mother and create a slide show for each member of the immediate family. All their kids will be there also. It's very easy to show different slide shows for each of the families. It also has new feature that shows the latest pictures added when it first comes on. I have been very impressed.

One important clarification - it remembers the file you were on and starts playing it from the beginning, but if you were listening to, say, a lecture which is 1+ hours long, it won't remember where you stopped, so it will start it over from the beginning. You have NO way to fast forward (only skip), which is why I'll be returning mine.

Yes. This can happen two ways. If you press the pause button and it goes to the screen saver then just press the pause button or play button and it will go back to where you left off. The second way is to press the stop button, but only once. When you want to resume press play and you will pick up where you left off. If you press the stop button twice or again to resume you will have stopped everything completely and will have to start over. Just remember to press stop only once then press play to resume where you left off.

It's the stupid DRM copy protection garbage they've been adding recently (called "Flash Access"). That broke streaming for both the TouchPad and the Playbook as well as Linux for much of the content on Amazon (most shows and some movies so far, and growing). There's a relatively easy workaround for Linux, and the updated Flash player on Android should also work, but it's not so easy to fix on TouchPad or PlayBook. This is not a rumor, it has been confirmed by Amazon customer service. If you don't like the direction they are heading, feel free to let them know, or try contacting HP to push for an updated version with the Flash Access DRM module.

Yes, just hold the play button for a couple of seconds for activation. It works very well.
