31) FRAME NUMBER REQUEST

LD

Function:

The frame number which is currently being played is returned.

Format:

? F

Explanation:

Contents of the current Frame Register are returned.

During playback of a CAV disc, a 5-digit frame number is returned.
During playback of a CLV disc, a 7-digit frame number is returned.
(See Appendix E-1, Notes for details.) Correct values are not shown
if the player is not in Random Access Mode, or if the player is in the
lead-in or lead-out area of a disc.

As seen in the example, continuous frame numbers may not be
received due to timing delays between the computer and the
player. If a frame number code on the disc cannot be correctly
read, the previous value is used. An error (E04) is returned if this
query is sent to the player while a CD is playing.

Execution:

* Play Mode (CAV)

* Play Mode (CLV)
