************ INTERESTING NOTES ****************

To have perfect "FIELD" accurate playback, Pioneer recommends using a black burst generator that all the DVD-V7400's can be synch locked to, but tests have show that the DVD-V7400 can also lock to a standard video signal as well. This signal can be derived from the second video output from player #1, making it unnecessary to have a black burst generator.

When using a program for synchronizing DVD-V7400 players, using frame numbers, the DVDs will have to be authored to have "FRAME/TIME ACCESS" enabled - a mode that is set in the DVD creation stage. Without FRAME/TIME ACCESS enabled, the DVD player can not be accessed by frame numbers (or time) and can only be accessed by Chapter or Title.

You can easily test if the disc has FRAME/TIME ACCESS enabled by pointing the remote at the player and pressing the "FRAME/TIME" button on the remote. If the unit prompts you to enter a number - FRAME/TIME ACCESS is enabled. If you see a remote icon with an "X" through it - FRAME/TIME ACCESS is disabled.
