Strong 5290 - remembering your position in a recording

[Stuart M]

Does anyone know the best way of remembering your position in a
recording? For instance, if you've watched half a movie and you want to
come back to it the next day?

From the manual, it seems there is something like it, where you move a
black dot along the time bar of the recording, but I don't really see
how this is practical. The black dot is not a very accurate way of
doing it, and you can't save it's position anyway.

All I've been doing is remembering what time I was up to in my head,
then using the numeric buttons to jump to 10%, 20%, 30% etc and then
using the "10 sec advance" button to get the rest of the way.

Does anyone know of a better way?

tia,
Stuart.

There is no other way other than the methods you have described.

I believe the latest firmware (1.26?) supports a feature like this, but I
haven't bothered to update my 5290 to try it out.
