When the unit memorizes a resume point for a disc, it also remembers audio language, subtitle and angle settings. This function may not work for some Video CD/SVCDs. When ARESUMEB is changed to AONB or AOFFB (A pg. 60), resume points of the discs memorized with ARESUMEB set to ADISC RESUMEB will be cleared.
