To use XDISC the /N: switch must be set to all 0s.

Multi Player Control (MPC) Program

MPC for DOS

The Multi Player Control v 1.2 is a memory resident “audio” remote control program for the Pioneer CD-ROM Changer. Multi Player Control operates the Pioneer CD- ROM Changer as a CD Player during execution of most programs on a PC. Multi Player Control consists of one file to make it resident in memory and another program to remove it from memory. Use MPC.COM to install Multi Player Control Program and use MPCRMV.COM to remove it from memory.

Install it by typing C:\ Pioneer\MPC.COM. Once it is installed you can bring it up with the <ALT+ HYPHEN> keys at any time. From within this program you can select the disc, track number, instruct the unit to play, pause, or eject the disc, and you can turn the volume up or down. Use the arrow key to select functions, and press the space key or enter key to execute a selected function. Use the <ESC> key to close the MPC window. Type C:\ Pioneer\MPCRMV.COM to remove the program.

You can also send direct commands to the player from within MPC. Select the Command function to make the command window pop up. Then type a specific mnemonic command string such as TR3SEPL <CR> Carriage Return. This will search to TRACK 3, and PLAY. Or send the command 1KL <CR> to turn Key Lock ON and disable the eject button on the front of the player. Or send 0KL <CR> to turn Key Lock OFF. The player will send back an “R” indicating it received and executed the command. See Appendix D for a complete list of CDP commands to control the CD-ROM Changer.
