Chapter Three • CLD-V2600 / 2400 Level I & III

The LaserBarcode Association strongly recommends that all extended LB2 barcodes include a subscript 2 next to the barcode. Barcode creation software sold by Pioneer follows this recommendation: LB2 extended barcodes have a subscript 2 next to them. These LB2 extended commands must be played on LB2 compatible players. They will not play on LB-only compatible machines such as the discontinued LD- V4200 with a LaserBarcode Adapter/15, the LD-V2000, or on the LD-V2200 player. See Appendix D, LaserBarcode 2 Commands and Logos, for sample LB and LB2 barcodes. Notice the subscript 2 next to the LB2 barcodes.

3.3.4 LaserBarcode, LaserBarcode 2 & Barcode CD Logos

Developers and publishers of barcode applications should pay particular attention to the LaserBarcode, LaserBarcode 2 and the Barcode CD command sets and their respective logos. When creating barcode applications that are intended to work with LaserBarcode (LB) compatible machines, developers and publishers must use only the original LaserBarcode standard command set. When creating barcode applications to work with LB2 compatible players, developers and publishers can use original LB barcodes as well as LB2 extended commands. Applications for use with CDs on Barcode CD compatible players must use barcodes within the Barcode CD command set. See Figures I, J and K below.

NOTE: LaserBarcode standard commands are a sub-set of the LaserBarcode 2 Standard. Applications using only original LaserBarcode standard commands will play on all LB compatible players and on all LB2 compatible players. If, however, an application uses LB2 extended commands (distinguished by the subscript 2 next to the code), the LB2 extended commands will not play on LB compatible players.

The symbol in Figure 3-Iindicates that an application bearing it supports the LaserBarcode standard command set as established by the LaserBarcode Association and can be played on LB or LB2 compatible players. The symbol in Figure 3-Jindicates applications bearing it contain LaserBarcode 2 extended commands and can be played only on LB2 compatible players.

CAUTION: LB2 applications that use only the original LB command set may be played on any LB compatible player. LB2 applications that use extended commands can only play on LB2 compatible players. (See Appendix E, player compatibility chart.
