INTERFACE
2.1 Interface Connector
A computer may be connected to the DVD-V5000 using a 15-pin D-Sub
connector (e.g., a JAE DALC-J15SAF connector with suitable plug such as the
JAE DA-15PF-N) to the RS-232C serial port or to the parallel port.
This unit is also equipped with 9pin connector for serial control.
In advanced setup user can choose which port to be used for serial control
depends on the cable availability.
Either 9pin cross cable or conventional 15pin cable (same cable to be used with
DVD-V7400).
The factory default setup is 15pin.
The pins are identified below:

Computer Control Functions
2.3.1 Serial Control (see Chapters 3, 4, 5 and 6)
The player and computer are based upon the RS-232C protocol and are
connected through the TxD, RxD, DTR and GND terminals.
2.3.2 Extend Terminal Control (see Chapter 9)
Control the player with the Extend Terminal Switches (SW#).
Even if the Key Lock is set (active), the extend terminal control is
available.
2.3.3 External Power Control
Control the player’s power with the Power Pin within the Interface
Connector.
If the player detects a high signal throughput (100m/sec or more) during
the Standby mode, the player powers ON. If the player detects the same
signal during the Power ON mode, the player powers OFF and switches
to the Standby mode.
The specifications for the Power pin are as follows:
Maximum Input Voltage
High Level Signal
Less Than 12V
More Than 4.5V
Less Than 0.5V
Low Level Signal
more than
100 msec

SERIAL CONTROL
3.1 Serial Interface Specifications
3.1.1 Signal Interface
The signal interface is a standard RS-232C connection.
3.1.2 Data Type
Data Length: 8 bit
Stop Bit: 1 bit
Parity bit: No Parity
3.1.3 Data Transfer Speed (Baud Rate)
The data transfer speed may be set to either 19200 or 9600 baud through
the Advanced Setup Menu screen or with the Advanced Feature Menu
Set command (refer to the DVD-V5000 Operating Instructions for
command description).
NOTE: The factory default is 19200 baud; however, the player memorizes
the transfer speed each time the power is cycled.
3.2
Communication with a Computer
The DVD-V5000 communicates to the computer through the RS-232C port using
pins 2 and 3 for communication and Pin 1 for grounding in case of using 15-pin
D-sub connector or Pin 5 for grounding when using 9-pin D-sub connector.
Control or “handshaking” lines other than the TxD and RxD connections are not
required. Please refer to the diagram below for clarification.
Computer
TxD
DVD-V5000
Pin 2 - RxD

Pin 3 - TxD
Pin 1 - GND

(Pin 5 - GND)
Some computers require the CTS port to be set to HIGH during communication.
It is best to connect the CTS and DSR port on the computer to the DTR port on
the player. During normal operation the player’s DTR is set to HIGH thus the unit
is able to receive a command at any time.

RS-232 Command Protocol
3.3
Command and Status
During normal operation, when a computer transmits commands to a DVD-
V5000, the player responds with the status message, ‘execution complete’.
Example
COMPUTER
DVD-V5000
(1) “Search to Frame 1000”
⇒
⇐
(2) Search Execution
(3) Complete
(4) “Play to Frame 2000”
⇒
⇐
(5) Play Execution
(6) Complete
NOTE: The length of a command string is limited to 32 characters. Please refer
to COMMAND STRUCTURE for additional information.
When using a computer to control the DVD-V5000 player, follow the command
protocols listed below:
• ASCII characters are used for actual commands and status response
• Command mnemonic is expressed as two (2) ASCII characters
• Uppercase letters are recommended; however, usually there are no
distinctions between the uppercase and lowercase letters
• Some commands require an argument
(e.g. Chapter number or speed)
• Use a command as the terminator of an argument
The player executes a command as soon as the carriage return <CR> is
received. The <CR> acts as the command line terminator.
Example
CH<CR>
:
:
Set Chapter for address mode
Search to Chapter 10
10SE<CR>
The player has a command buffer, which stores a command string of up to 32
characters in length.
Example
10SE 20PL<CR>
:
Search to Chapter 10 then play to 20
The command string enters the buffer with the first character and continues
sequentially from left to right. When the <CR> is entered, the commands are
executed sequentially beginning with the first command in the buffer. In the
example above, the first command is 10SE.

DVD-V5000 DVD Player
RS-232 Command Protocol
NOTE: The player ignores codes in the command string such as <SPACE> or
<LF> (line feed) that have no affect on the player.
NOTE: Some commands, sent after a specialty command that includes an
AUTOSTOP setting, (PL, MF, MR, etc.), cause the player to execute the new
command before the AUTOSTOP is enacted (see Chapter 5, Command
Descriptions).
When all the commands in a string have finished executing, the player transmits
or returns the "complete" message that is represented by the capital letter R.
The player returns an R after a command has been executed. This response is
called the Automatic Status.
The Automatic Status signals the computer
program to send the next command. If this function is not used, the command
processing Time must be taken into consideration before the next command is
sent.
If an error occurs, the player returns an error message such as E04. The
message indicates an error has occurred as well as the type of error. Error
messages are in the form of EXX where XX represents a 2-digit error code.
In some cases, an incorrect command sends the player to Search within a non-
recorded area and the player returns an error message. Use the Request Status
function to determine current status (actual player hardware failures are rare).
• ?P to determine the Active mode of the player
• ?X, ?M, ?H, ?S to determine the player information, model name, player
region code, the setting of Advanced Setup Menu, etc.
• ?F, ?T, ?C, or ?R to determine the current Frame, Time, Chapter,
Title/Track number, respectively.
• ?V, ?K, ?G, ?Y, or ?Q to determine the disc information, disc type, total
Frame number, TOC information, etc.
The status functions are summarized below:

Command Mnemonic
Each command is expressed as two (2) ASCII characters. There is no distinction
between uppercase and lowercase letters except when the Character strings are
in a PR command.
Argument
An Argument, expressed in either ASCII characters or ten digits, consists of
either an address or an integer. A Control Register uses an integer value to set a
specified value or condition.
If a command requires an argument, it is always placed before the command.

Command String
A command string consists of multiple commands on one line. The maximum
length of a command string is 32 characters. All command strings are terminated
by the Carriage Return <CR> code (0DH hex).
Example :
FR2000SE 2300PL<CR>
NOTE: Assign the following commands individually.
• Print Character [PR]
a N1N2N3 minutes N4N5 seconds.
b N1N2 minutes N3N4 seconds.
c N1N2 minutes N3N4 seconds N5N6 Block.

• Stack Data Upload [BU]
• Stack Data Download [BD]
• Memory Data Upload [MU]
Once the <CR> termination command is added to the string, the command string
is executes from left to right in sequential order.
If an error occurs during the execution of a String, the remainder of the string
following that command is ignored.
If a new command string is input before the current string executes completely,
the current string is aborted and the remaining commands are cleared.
To cancel an executing string, send the termination command <CR> alone.
If a new command without [?*], [#*] or [$*] is input while playing the current
command stack, the remaining commands are cleared.
The DVD-V5000 does not accept other commands during the execution of a
Search command, returning an E04 error message. After issuing a Search
command, wait until the Return (R) status appears before issuing another
command. An exception to this rule is the Mark Frame Play command (i.e.
FR1200PL), when it is unnecessary to wait for the R status before sending
additional commands.

Status Returns
The completion message used in the Automatic Status is R.
Example:

Error Message
An error message consists of an E followed by a two-character error code.
Example: EN1N2<CR>
The error message occurs when the given command cannot be processed.

Request Status Return
In response to a single request command, the status returns as a line of letters

DVD-V5000 DVD Player
RS-232 Command Protocol
If multiple commands are sent within the same String, the player returns a
separate status value upon completion of each command. A status value is a
character string with a <CR> termination code.
Example:
?C?F<CR>
⇒
02<CR>
10260<CR>
When the command is at the end of the command string, the R within the
completion message is omitted.
Example:
ST?F<CR>
⇒
⇒
23005<CR> (completion omitted)
23005<CR>R<CR> (not omitted)
Example:
?FST<CR>
4.7
Timing
A player needs a brief period after receiving a command before returning a
Status Value or “R <CR>”. It is defined as follows:
T1 represents the time between the termination of the command string
<CR> received and the beginning of the command execution. It is
approximately 35ms maximum.
T2 represents the time for executing the command, depending upon the
command type and the player’s condition. In case of a status request
command such as “?F”, T2 requires less than 1ms.
T3 represents the time that is needed for transferring data (TxD) per byte.
It requires a maximum of 6ms per byte. In case of the return data for “?F”
request, a player is supposed to be back 8 bytes data, that is composed
of 7 digit Frame number and “<CR>”. In this case the transfer time of
each byte is not exactly the same with 6ms, it takes usually around 10ms
for transferring 8 bytes data total, and it takes less than 20ms.

Function
Format
: Pictures and sound are reproduced (Option - Auto Stop)
: (Address)PL
Explanation : If the command is sent while the player is in Open mode, a DVD
disc plays according to the menu selection or from the first Title if a menu is
absent. If the command is sent while the player is in Park, or Reject mode, a
DVD disc plays from the first Title. A CD/VCD disc plays from the first Track.
The player returns the completed status message after playback begins.
If the player is in Random Access mode when the Play command is sent, the
player enters Play mode and returns the completed status message. The
Play is the only mode in which audio plays back simultaneously with video.
If an address is specified, an Auto Stop occurs on the selected sequence.
The specified address is written as a Mark Frame or Mark Time and is
compared with the current address. If the current address matches the
specified address, the player enters Still mode and returns the completed
status message.
If the Frame count difference is less than 24 Frames between the present
Frame and the specified Frame, the player returns an E06 error message and
the marker is not set.
The Auto Stop command is canceled if another command is sent before the
player reaches the specified address. When this occurs, the player enters
normal Play mode (the Stop Marker command is similar in function to Auto
Stop).
If a VOBU Still is detected before the player reaches the specified address,
the player enters Still mode and returns an error message. However, if the
disc program does not allow a stop, the player ignores the command and it
returns an error message.

Function
: Search to specified address

Format
Explanation : The specified address is written into the Search Register in
accordance with the current Search address mode.
When the Search command is sent to the player, the specified address is
compared with the current address. The pick-up is moved so that the
difference becomes 0.
Upon reaching the specified address, the player enters the Pause mode for a
CD or the Still mode for others disc types. The player then returns the
completed status message. If the player misses the specified address or
cannot find it, an error message (E06 or E12) is returned. However, if the
disc program disallows a Time, Chapter or Title Search, the player ignores
the command and an error message (E04) is returned. In addition, if the disc
program blocks the Pause command, the player ignores the command.
The DVD-V5000 does not accept other commands during the execution of a
Search command, returning an E04 error message. After issuing a Search
command, wait until the Return (R) status appears before issuing another
command. An exception to this rule is the Mark Frame Play command (i.e.

5.33 Key Lock
Function
: The key lock switches ON / OFF
: Integer KL
Format
Explanation : The command enables/disables the remote control and access
through the front panel. The default value is 0 (OFF) thus the player is
unlocked.
If the key lock switch is set to 1, all buttons (front panel and remote control)
including the power control are disabled and IR and FRONT in ADV.SETUP
is set to Disable. Use this setting for a PC-controlled player to lessen
interference from outside sources such as remote controls.
If the key lock switch is set to 2, only the tray open button/key is disabled and
the OP command no longer controls the tray. And the setting of TRY LOCK
in ADV.SETUP is set to ON. Thus, after powering OFF the player, the locked
tray protects the disc from unauthorized personnel.

EXTEND TERMINAL CONTROL
To activate a function, create a switch contact with an electrical ground (Pin 1). Check
Chapter 2 to verify pin (Pin 6 through Pin 13) and terminal (SW1 ~ SW8) assignments.
There are three SW functions in the EXTEND TERMINAL CONTROL.
1. To recall Barcode/Command Stacks and execute
The function, STACK GROUP 1 to STACK GROUP 27, is similar to a combination
of remote control buttons to recall and execute a stack.
2. To execute the function as a remote control command
The function acts the same as the buttons (ENTER, PLAY, STOP, etc.) on a remote
control excluding SCAN FWD/REV.
DVD-V5000 continues execute SCAN FWD/REV even when the button on the
remote control is released. But in case of EXTEND TERMINAL CONTROL, it stops
to execute SCAN FWD/REV when button is released.
(In case of remote control “releasing SCAN button” will not discontinue the SCAN.
But in case of EXTEND TERMINAL, releasing SCAN switch will terminate SCAN
operation.)
3. To execute as an advanced remote control button
Advanced remote control commands such as numbers from 10 to 20 may be sent
as a switch control command.
Note: for additional assistance, please refer to Product Information Bulletin (PIB)
