3.7.1 Player Control Commands

1) DOOR OPEN

LD/CD

 

Function:

Door is opened.

 

Format:

OP or 0OP opens the LD tray; 1OP opens the CD tray

Explanation:

The Door Open Mode is the state where the disc tray is opened to

 

change the disc, or the tray is drawn out.

 

If this command is sent when the player is in Park, the door is

 

opened and the Door Open Mode starts. This command is also

 

effective in other modes; disc rotation stops and then the door is

 

opened. An error, E04, is returned if the door is already opened.

 

NOTE: If an LD is loaded, the LD disc tray will open even if the 1OP

 

command is sent.

 

Execution:

2) DOOR CLOSE

LD/CD

 

Function:

Door is closed.

 

Format:

Explanation:

When the player door is open and this command is received, the

 

player closes the door and enters Park. The completion status is

 

returned just after the door has closed. If this command is sent

 

when the player is in some mode other than Door Open, or if the

 

door is already closed, an error message, E04, will be returned.
