Bookmark mode

The recorder has the bookmark mode in
the contents file of the Podcast or Audible
file which is transferred to the recorder.
When the recorder is in bookmark mode,
it automatically memorizes the last stop
position as a [Playback Position]. Even
the recorder is stopped while a file is being
played back, the last stop position is recalled
from the file, and the file can be played back
from that position next time.
