Current addressing mode is: FRAME.

Selecting Chapter, Frame, or

Chapter Start/Frame End

Units are shipped set to work with Chapters. In this instance, we wish to use Frame Numbers,

hence typing A will allow us to select Frame mode by typing

F.In general Frame mode offers the most versatility. In the following examples frame numbers will be used. If the disc has been prepared with Chapters, they may also be used.

Chapter Start / Frame end is primarily used with the older Pioneer 7200 players, which were much slower seeking frames than chapters. The Pioneer 7400 model overcame this issue.

———- Main Menu ———-

A = select address mode (FRAME, CHAPTER, or

CHAPTER start/FRAME end)

B = view or edit a Button’s selection I = view or edit the Idle selection T = Test the buttons and lamps

O = go to Options menu

Programming the Buttons

Having already determined by Start and Stop frame num- bers for each selection, it is a simple matter to enter them. Type B for the Button Menu, then type the number of the Button you wish to program.

Please choose a command: B

Which button’s selection do you want to view or edit?

Button 1 plays from frame 1000 to frame 1100. Do you want to change this (Y/N)? Yes

Enter the start FRAME for the button and press RETURN: 12

Enter the end FRAME for the button and press RETURN: 600

Enter the Start frame number and press enter on the key- board. Then type the Stop frame and press Enter again. The new frame numbers are displayed.

In this example frame 12 is entered as the new Start frame, while from 600 is the new stop frame.
