(CDP) CD Player Commands

Using CDP Commands / CDP Command List

For Pioneer CD-ROM Changers

Sending CDP (CD Player) Commands from DOS:

At the DOS prompt, type the following:

C:\>ECHO 1KL>CDP <CR> (Carriage return or enter)

This will send a command to the CD-ROM Changer to put Key Lock ON, so that the Magazine cannot be ejected. 0KL will turn Key Lock OFF. See complete list of CDP Commands starting on page D-2. Any of the CDP Commands can be used in place of the 1KL in the above set of instructions.

Use the Multi-Player Control Program (MPC) described in Chapter Three, page 3-16 to send CDP commands to the CD-ROM Changer.
