RS-232 Command Protocol

•Stack Data Upload [BU]

•Stack Data Download [BD]

•Memory Data Upload [MU]

Once the <CR> termination command is added to the string, the command string is executes from left to right in sequential order.

If an error occurs during the execution of a String, the remainder of the string following that command is ignored.

If a new command string is input before the current string executes completely, the current string is aborted and the remaining commands are cleared.

To cancel an executing string, send the termination command <CR> alone.

If a new command without [?*], [#*] or [$*] is input while playing the current command stack, the remaining commands are cleared.

The DVD-V5000 does not accept other commands during the execution of a Search command, returning an E04 error message. After issuing a Search command, wait until the Return (R) status appears before issuing another command. An exception to this rule is the Mark Frame Play command (i.e. FR1200PL), when it is unnecessary to wait for the R status before sending additional commands.

4.4Status Returns

The completion message used in the Automatic Status is R.

Example: R<CR>

4.5Error Message

An error message consists of an E followed by a two-character error code.

Example: EN1N2<CR>

The error message occurs when the given command cannot be processed.

4.6Request Status Return

In response to a single request command, the status returns as a line of letters terminated by <CR>.
