Philips PET710 7-Inch Widescreen Portable DVD Player
Can't resume playback from last point
Why is it my Sony home DVD player will resume playback when you power it back on, but this Philips model makes you start from the beginning all over again? I will remove this negative rating when Philips finally responds to my product inquiry - if this is by design, then I will look for a different brand, or wait until portable DVD technology catches up with my laptop and most media player software applications. That was less of a hassle than constantly having to do scene selections during your commute back and forth to work on the train or bus. I waste a good 15 minutes being forced to watch DVD commercials too without being able to bypass them. I read that lobbyists worked very hard to pass a lass to prevent you from skipping the commercials - what ever happened to a government by the people, for the people? These politicians serve the special interests so well, you go to a movie theatre and are forced to watch commercials, disguised as pre-show entertainment when its all about product placement. Oh man, I could go on and on! In the meantime, give me a freaking piece of technology that has solid design and is thoroughly tested with consumer participation. I just wanna watch Season One of Lost on the bus without any problems!!!!!
