Basic format

Command format

[group, command, parameter list]\r

Response code format

0: No error

x: Error code x

Example 1:

Player receives : [PC, RC, 66]\r

Player sends : [PC, RC, 0]\r

When the external controller receives the response this implies that the player has verified the received message (syntax), and the command will be executed.

Example 2:

Player receives : [PC, PlayT, 16]\r

Player sends : [PC, PlayT, 2]\r

If an internal error occurs and the command cannot be executed, an error message (Error code 2 : Invalid parameter) will be send.

Interval time

When transmitting commands consecutively, put more than 300 ms blank between commands.

External control commands

External control status

Asynchronous responses

“[group, command, parameter list]\r”

A group, command and parameter-list between square- brackets, followed by a carriage return character (\r).

The parameter-list exists of comma separated parameters, and are case sensitive.

When the player receives a message from the external controller, it will be acknowledged. This acknowledgment will be done in 2 different ways.

For external control commands, the acknowledgment will

look like:

 

• Group

: group specified in the received message
