Default What BD players have a "TITLE REPEAT" function?

The title pretty much says all I need to say, but I'll elaborate anyway...

I'm looking for a bedroom player that I can pop in a disc, hit repeat play & not worry if I fall asleep (so it doesn't sit, spinning on the main menu all night).

Does anyone know what (if any) players have this function?

Thanks in advance.

I think all players have the multiple repeat dealie, It's the discs themselves that are the problem. Some discs will only let you repeat a chapter,instead the whole film.

I think most players have a screensaver option; the Oppo also has an energy saver screensaver option which will turn off the video output after 3 minutes of inactivity. Would something like this be satisfactory?

My Sony doesn't (at least I've never come across it). It is a 1st generation machine though. I know (in the past) if a DVD player had repeat, it would usually list it in the features when looking up the model. I've checked the specs of quite a few, and haven't seen it listed. Maybe they just don't anymore? I guess I'll have to go a step further & look up the user manuals online (for players that I'm considering).

I know what you mean about some discs only repeating a chapter. It has to do with how the titles & chapters are organized on the disc. Take the TV series Scrubs for instance (since I own them all). Some seasons are organized so all the episodes constitutes one title, while some are organized so each episode is a title itslef. The discs where all the epsiodes are one title will repeat all of the episodes after they have all played, while the discs where each epsiode is a title will only keep repeating the same episode over & over. Then there are the discs that automatically go to an endless menu loop after the film is over. Repeat doesn't work on them since moving on to the menu is part of the title.

LOL, you're like me. I have this thing where I generally have to fall asleep to the TV on usually I pop in a blu-ray movie or TV show and play it until I fall asleep.

Oh well.
