Pioneer V5000 Manuale Utente

DVD-V5000 DVD Player

RS-232 Command Protocol

 

Function 

:  The command returns information for the following groups: 

 

  DVD – Title Numbers, Chapter Numbers, Time 

 

  CD/VCD – Track Numbers, Index Numbers, Block Numbers, Time 

Format : 

?A 

Explanation  :  If the P-Block Number Request command is sent to a DVD disc, 

Title numbers, Chapter numbers and Time Code information are grouped 
together then the data is returned in a single report.  A request sent to a 
CD/VCD disc returns Track numbers, Index numbers, Block numbers and 
Time Codes. 

 

The continuous Frame count information may be missing from a report if the 
P-Block Number Request is sent while the player is in normal playback mode.  
The player does not update Frame counts while processing this command.  
Rather than returning an incorrect Frame count, the player ignores the 
request. 

 

If the player is in Random Access Mode, the report contains correct values. 

 

 

NOTE: The Time Code shows the elapsed time based on the chapter when 
playing DVD Video disc. And it shows the elapsed time based on the title 
when playing DVD VR disc.
