Special case : When address mode is chapter and the address is followed by -

(hyphen) during playing DVD Video, player makes special behavior. 

 

For example, when the command CH5-PL is executed, the player enters still 
mode 2 or 3 frames before entering chapter 5. 

 

Function 

:  Playback ceases temporarily 

Format : 

PA 

Explanation :  If the command is sent while the player is in Random Access 

mode, the pause occurs at the current disc location.  The player returns the 
completed status message immediately. 

 

 

In Pause mode, Still and Video Squelch are ACTIVE.   However, if the disc 
program does not allow a pause, the player ignores the command and 
returns an error message (E04).
