Chapter Three • CLD-V5000 Level III

The current track, index and P-time (elapsed time of current track) are returned together as a 10-digit integer. If this command is used when playing the disc at normal speed, the block numbers are renewed even while communication is taking place. As shown in the example below, continuous block numbers may not be received.

Correct values will not be shown if the player is is not in Random Access Mode, or when playback is in the lead-in or lead out area of the disc. If a block number code of the disc cannot be correctly read, the previous value is retained.
