Using Pioneer Barcode Readers

The Pioneer Barcode Reader UC-V108BC

Overview of the UC-V108BC

Pioneer Autoscanning Barcode Reader UC-V108BC scans LaserBarcode™, LaserBarcode 2™ and Barcode CD™ commands and sends them to control Pioneer’s barcode compatible LaserDisc or combination LaserDisc/Compact Disc players. It may be used with the Pioneer LD-V8000, LD-V4400, CLD-V2600, CLD-V2400, LD-V2200, LC-V330 Auto Changer with LBA/15, the discontinued LD-V4200 with LBA/15 and with the discontinued LD-V6000A with LBA/25. The UC-V108BC does not work with the LD-V2000 player. See Appendix F, page F-1, for player barcode-compatibility.

The Autoscanning Barcode Reader provides a new scanning concept — there is no need to draw the scanner across the barcode. In addition, the Autoscanning reader adds the most freqeuently used functions of a remote control. (See Figures A & B below.)
