Interruptibility refers to the action of the pushbuttons while a selection is playing. If the buttons are set to be non-interruptible, they remain locked out while the selection is playing. If the buttons are set to be inter- ruptible, a press of a button while any selection is playing will cause the system to immediately play the new selection. It is also possible to set a “safe time” during which the buttons are locked out, becoming active again after the “safe time” period.

Button 4 (or Button 12) Reset

This function converts the last pushbutton (#4 on the DVD-204; #12 on the DVD-212) from a normal selection button to an “instant reset” function. When configured for instant reset, pressing the but- ton will cause the player to revert immediately to its Idle function. Instant reset over-rides any button lock-out settings. This function can be useful when the selections are of great length, and the buttons have been set to non-interruptable (locked out)

Button 4 is now an instant reset button.

Slave Delay

Multiple Player Installations

When a DVD-204 / DVD-212 is used to drive more than one DVD player ( using a special cable) the Slave Delay should be set for 1 second (10 tenths). This is to ensure that the slowest of the players had had sufficient time to carry out its instructions. Slave Delay refers to the amount of time that the players sit on their first frame before actually starting to play.

If only one player is used, Slave Delay should be set to zero.
