Pioneer SCSI-2 2.45Write CDP (E3h), Transfer Length, Operation Code is (E3h)

Write CDP

2.45Write CDP (E3h)

Operation Code is (E3h).

Transfer Length is the number of bytes of CDP command data to be sent.

This command sends alphanumeric Player Control commands to the drive. The drive returns the command status after the player control command is transferred to the drive controller chip. A GOOD status indicates only that the command was syntactically correct. The READ CDP command must be used to determine the results of the operation.

(See Appendices A and B for details on audio functions.)

The Player Control command data can contain up to 21 characters including a Carriage Return (0Dh). If Transfer Length is larger than 21, Check Condition is returned with sense key ILLEGAL REQUEST and sense code 24h, "Invalid Command Block Other Than 20 or 21".

IMPORTANT: THE COMMAND STRING MUST BE TERMINATED WITH A CARRIAGE RETURN

Data after a Carriage Return is ignored. When there is no Carriage Return, Check Condition is returned with sense key ILLEGAL REQUEST, sense code "Error in Parameter List" (26h).

When media change is prohibited by the PREVENT/ALLOW MEDIA REMOVAL command, the magazine eject command "Z0" is ignored. When the command string consists of multiple request commands (such as "?Z"), only the status of the first command is returned by the READ CDP command.
