Pioneer DVD-V5000 RS-232C - Manual (Page 23)

DVD-V5000 DVD Player
RS-232 Command Protocol
5.5 Play
Function : Pictures and sound are reproduced (Option - Auto Stop)
Format : (Address)PL
Explanation : If the command is sent while the player is in Open mode, a DVD
disc plays according to the menu selection or from the first Title if a menu is
absent. If the command is sent while the player is in Park, or Reject mode, a
DVD disc plays from the first Title. A CD/VCD disc plays from the first Track.
The player returns the completed status message after playback begins.
If the player is in Random Access mode when the Play command is sent, the
player enters Play mode and returns the completed status message. The
Play is the only mode in which audio plays back simultaneously with video.
If an address is specified, an Auto Stop occurs on the selected sequence.
The specified address is written as a Mark Frame or Mark Time and is
compared with the current address. If the current address matches the
specified address, the player enters Still mode and returns the completed
status message.
If the Frame count difference is less than 24 Frames between the present
Frame and the specified Frame, the player returns an E06 error message and
the marker is not set.
The Auto Stop command is canceled if another command is sent before the
player reaches the specified address. When this occurs, the player enters
normal Play mode (the Stop Marker command is similar in function to Auto
Stop).
If a VOBU Still is detected before the player reaches the specified address,
the player enters Still mode and returns an error message. However, if the
disc program does not allow a stop, the player ignores the command and it
returns an error message.
