Operating Modes 

 
 

Each command is expressed as two (2) ASCII characters. There is no distinction 
between uppercase and lowercase letters except when the Character strings are 
in a PR command. 
 

An Argument, expressed in either ASCII characters or ten digits, consists of 
either an address or an integer.  A Control Register uses an integer value to set a 
specified value or condition. 
 
If a command requires an argument, it is always placed before the command. 

Example : 

N

Minimum 000 ~ Maximum 300

Minimum 000 ~ Maximum 2047 

(Only MS command)

 

 
NOTE: If a command requires an argument but one is not supplied, the player 
returns an error message. 
 
An Address can be a Title, a Chapter, a Track, a Frame Number, or a Time Code 
depending upon how the address flag is set.  The Address must not exceed ten 
characters and/or digits.
