DVD-V5000 DVD Player
RS-232 Command Protocol
NOTE: DVD offers only fixed speed reverse.
VCD offers 1/2 to 1/16 speed forward only. Sometimes, depending on its
forward speed, VCD Multi-Speed Forward may finish several frames earlier
than the target address because playback does not rely on Frame counts.
Sometimes an Auto Stop command within a Multi-Speed command misses
the specific address. Depending upon when the command is sent, a
playback address may be missed by a maximum of ten-Blocks.
The available address modes in each disc type are listed below:
