Figure 2-Q

Area 1 displays the Chapter / Frame /Track / Time Display. Area 2 displays the status of the player’s audio and speed settings, repeat mode, and CLV disc play — indicating some buttons (such as Multi Speed) are invalid because a CLV disc is playing. Area 3 indicates the Mode that has been set for the search flag, depending on the type of disc being played. Note: Area 4 (lines 0-11 on the CLD-V2600 and lines

0-9 on the CLD-V2400) can be programmed under computer control with special user messages. See Section 4.7.6 Register Control Commands, Register A Set, pages

4-39 to 4-41, for details; also see Technical Bulletin # 141, On-Screen User Display.

2.5.1 Area 1: Chapter / Frame / Track / Time Display

Pressing the DISPLAY button on the remote control will cause the chapter and frame numbers (LD CAV discs) or chapter and time numbers (LD CLV discs), track and absolute time numbers (CDs) or track-index and elapsed time number of current track (CDs) to be displayed in the upper left corner of the video monitor.

NOTE: Chapter numbers will be displayed only if they have been encoded on the LaserDisc at the customer’s request.

NOTE: Time number frame value access is possible from Level III on the CLD-V2600 & CLD-V2400 with CLV discs, however, frame values are not displayed on screen. See “Frame Set”, page 4-21. While both players are fully interactive with CAV discs and hold CAV still frames, neither player will display a still frame from a CLV disc. (The Pioneer LD-V8000 player is the only one in the industry to display CLV still frames.)
