Command

Command structure

Example: PLAY command

Preamble

All command strings for this unit begin with the start byte "02h" and header byte "3Eh".

Operation Code

Each command has a 3-byte operation code, which are listed in the following pages. The operation code for play is simply PLY (upper-case letters).

Command/Status Byte

This section determines whether the command is telling the unit to do something, or asking for its status. A lowercase "c" (63h) indicates a command while a lowercase "s" (73h) indicates status response.

Parameter Codes

8 bytes are reserved for parameters on the command/status response. When the status information does not fill up all 8 bytes (most don't), the extra slots are filled with spaces (20h). In the above example, FWD indicates playing forward at normal (1x) speed.

Check Sum

The check sum is calculated from the “ > ” in the Preamble to the end of the Parameter Codes. The last two digits of the hexadecimal addition are shown as ASCII in the Check Sum area. In this example, the Check Sum is derived as follows:

$$ 3 \mathrm {E} + 5 0 + 4 \mathrm {C} + 5 9 + 6 3 + 4 6 + 5 7 + 4 4 + 2 0 + 2 0 + 2 0 + 2 0 + 2 0 = 3 1 7 $$

The last two digits, "17" are displayed as ASCII in the Check Sum.

End Byte

This marks the end of the string with "03h".

Advanced commands

■ Front panel and IR permissions

The unit uses the PSW and IRD commands to disable the front panel or IR controls for automated installations. These settings will remain in tact until either the power is disconnected from the unit, or until these commands are used to turn the control back on. The INI command can also be used to reset the controls to its default (on).

- Initializing the unit

The initial settings of the unit can be set and recalled using the SET and INI commands. The SET command should only be used directly after the unit is turned on. The INI command will initialize the unit, and return the unit to the settings last built by the SET command. No other commands should be sent for at least 500 ms while the RS-232 routine is initializing. As for the SET and INI commands, DV-D01U does not send back response.

Maintenance

Handling Discs

• Remove the disc from its case by holding it at the edge while pressing the center hole lightly.
• Do not touch the shiny surface of the disc or bend the disc.

• Put the disc back in its case after use to prevent warping.

• Be careful not to scratch the surface of the disc when placing it back in its case.

• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, extreme temperature and moisture.

To clean the disc

Wipe the disc with a soft cloth in a straight line from center to edge.

DO NOT use any solvent - such as conventional record cleaner, spray, thinner or benzine - to clean the disc.

- Cleaning the unit

• Stains on the unit should be wiped off with a soft cloth. If the unit is heavily stained, wipe it with a cloth soaked in water-diluted neutral detergent and wrung well, then wipe clean with a dry cloth.

• Since the unit may deteriorate in quality, become damaged or get its paint peeled off, be careful about the following.

• DO NOT wipe it with a hard cloth.

• DO NOT wipe it forcefully.
• DO NOT wipe it with thinner or benzine.
• DO NOT apply any volatile substance such as insecticides to it.
• DO NOT allow any rubber or plastic to remain in contact with it for a long time.

Troubleshooting

PROBLEM	POSSIBLE CAUSE	SOLUTION
Power does not come on.	The power cord is not connected.	Connect the power cord correctly. (See page 8.)
The remote control does not work.	The batteries are exhausted.	Replace the batteries. (See page 6.)
	Sunlight is shining directly on the remote sensor.	Hide the remote sensor from direct sunlight.
The disc reading time is too long.	The disc is dirty.	Clean the disc by referring to “Maintenance” above.
No sound.	The audio cable is not connected.	Check the connection.
No sound is produced when playing back a DVD recorded with high sampling (88.2 kHz or more) linear PCM audio using the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL) jack.	The audio signal is not derived from the unit's DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL) jack.	Use analog AUDIO OUT when playing back such discs.
No picture is displayed on the TV screen.	The video cable is not connected correctly.	Connect the cable correctly. (See page 7.)
	The disc or file is not playable.	Use a playable disc or file. (See pages 3 and 4.)
No picture is displayed on the TV screen, the picture is blurred, or the picture is divided into two parts.	The scan mode is set to “480p”(NTSC) or “576p”(PAL) though the unit is connected to the TV which does not support the progressive video input such as a conventional TV.	Change the scan mode to “480i” (NTSC) or “576i” (PAL) though. (See page 10.)
Video and audio are distorted.	The disc is scratched or dirty.	Replace or clean the disc.
	A VCR is connected between the unit and the TV.	Connect the unit and TV directly. (See page 7.)
The picture does not fit the TV screen.	The monitor type is not set correctly.	Set “MONITOR TYPE” properly. (See page 26.)
No picture is displayed on the TV or no sound come out through HDMI connection.	A video or audio format not compatible with this unit and/or TV is played.	Check the video or audio format of the signal to see if it is compatible with this unit and/or TV.
	A HDCP-compatible TV is not connected.	Connect a HDCP-compatible TV. (See page 7.)
	The unit failed to recognize the TV connected with the HDMI cable.	Disconnect the HDMI cable and connect it again.
	A HDMI cable longer than 5 m (15 ft) is used.	Use a HDMI cable shorter than 5 m (15 ft) to assure stable operation and picture quality.
The picture is distorted when the TV is connected through HDMI terminal.	Proportion of the picture may not be shown correctly depending on a disc/file when the TV is connected through HDMI terminal.	Connect the TV through component video, S-video, or composite video jacks (see page 7), then set the scan mode to “480p” (see page 10).

If there are any other cases than the noted above or if this unit does not seem to work properly, turn off the unit and turn it back on.
