Playback Commands
Play (PL)
Puts the designated channel(s) into play mode from the current file
position and continues to play until the (address) value is reached.
If no (address) is specified, play mode continues indefinitely.
Syntax
(address)PL<CR>
Response
R<CR>
Remarks
Use this command to begin playback on the selected channel(s)
from the current file position.
❏
If an address value is included in the command, it defines
the point at which playback automatically pauses. When the
media player receives a PL command with an address,
while playback is in progress, playback continues
uninterrupted and the pause address is set as specified.
❏
If a PL command with no address is received during
playback, playback continues uninterrupted and any
previously set pause address is cleared.
❏
If a play command is received with an out of range address
value, i.e. – time code greater than the length of the current
file or a chapter number higher than the number of files in
the playlist, the play command is not processed and the
error code E12 is returned.
