ON-SCREEN Programming

Addendum to DVD-204 / DVD-212 Manual

Effective with version 2.03, most programming tasks can be accomplished without having to connect the DVD-204 /DVD-212 to a computer. Using only a DVD-204 /DVD-212, a Pioneer 7200 /7400 DVD player, and a video monitor, it is possible to program the DVD-204 /DVD212. Please note that only frame numbers (not chapters) can be used when programming on-screen. Many of the other setup options may be imple- mented by the on-screen technique.

First, set up the DVD player, the video monitor, and the DVD-204 /DVD212. The DVD to be used must be in the player. Apply power to all three components. Make sure that the DVD player and video monitor are turned on. Press the red "Program" button on the back of the DVD-204 /DVD-212. The monitor screen should now display the model and version number as well as information on how to contact Museum Technology Source. A few seconds later, the screen will display:

At this point, pressing

button 1 on the front of the DVD-204 /DVD-212 will instruct the DVD-204 /DVD-212 that you wish to place new frame numbers into memory, or to determine what frame num- bers are currently stored. Note: whenever a button can be usefully pressed, it will be flashing: here, buttons 1 though 4 are chasing.

Note: "PROGRAM button" refers to the red button on the rear panel of the DVD-204 or DVD-212
