3.5 Command Formats

Level III commands on the CLD-V5000 are expressed as ÒCommand MnemonicsÓ, so
they are easy to remember. ÒCommand MnemonicsÓ are also used for Level III control
of the CLD-V2800, CLD-V2600, CLD-V2400, LD-V8000, LD-V4400; the LD-V2200,
& LD-V4200 (discontinued models), the LC-V330 Autochanger, as well as for the LD-
V4100 (PAL player); CLD-V2300D and the LD-V4300D (NTSC/PAL players). Some
commands are preceded by an ÒargumentÓ expressed as an integer. These may
indicate a specific ÒaddressÓ location on the disc or set function parameters.

Command Mnemonic

Ñ Each Level III command is expressed as two ASCII

alphabetic characters, representing the command mnemonic. There is no
distinction between uppercase letters and lowercase letters. Example: PL (Play);
Pl (Play); pl (Play).

Argument

ÑAn argument is expressed in ASCII digits and it is placed before the

command. When a command requiring an argument has no argument, an error
(E06) is returned. An argument consists of either an address or an integer:

1) An Address

Ñ The address can be a frame, time, or chapter number (LDs) or time,

block, track or index number (CDs) depending how the address flag is set. When an
address larger than the maximum allowable value is input, correct evaluation cannot
be made. Addresses may be expressed as numbers indicated below:
