time, you can use the Bookmark function. Highlight the icon and click on the Select action button. This will set a
bookmark in the video fi le at the current position. You can only set one bookmark per fi le. When you look at the
fi le in your browser, it will have a yellow check mark on its icon indicating that this fi le has a bookmark set within
it. You can have a maximum of 16 fi les book-marked. Setting more bookmarks will then start to erase the oldest
bookmarks. The next time you play this video fi le, you will be presented with three options:
Resume Start playing from the book-marked position.
Ignore Keep the bookmark but start playing from the very beginning.
