to allow the power capacitors to be discharged before

RS-232 cable connected between your computer COM port
and the DVP14.

one time. Make sure the serial port (RS-232) connection
is secured.
2. The first step after running the software is automatic detec-
tion of the DVP14. If the DVP14 responds correctly through
RS-232 port, the computer will show the main control
panel. The process takes 5 to15 seconds. If the response is
not accurate, a warning window will show up as follows.
