When you start playing that disc again, you can choose to start from that point or from the
beginning of the disc. PMD-500D can do this for up to 5 discs, replacing the oldest one if it
needs to remember a new one. When set to Off, this feature is disabled.

the selected language for this feature to work properly.

By default, this should already be set to the correct format for your location. Select Multi-
system only if your TV supports both NTSC and PAL systems.

automatically), 480i/576i, 480p/576p, 720p, 1080i, or 1080p.
o HDMI Deep Color: Select the Deep Color mode for the HDMI output: 30 bits, 36 bits, 48 bits,
or Off (24 bits). Each setting indicates the total bit depth that an HDMI v1.3 picture will use.
Using a higher bit depth usually improves gradients and color transitions. Your TV must
support HDMI v1.3 for this feature to work properly.
