Additional Error Messages

The RS-232 Error Messages described on page 4-3 of the CLD-V2600 User’s Manual, also appear on the front panel illuminated display of CLD-V2600 players. There are two additional Error Messages that you may also see on the display. These two additional Error Messages are not returned in response to any RS-232 commands, but only appear on the front panel display. Here is a brief description of each:

1)E07 — Unrecoverable error

The player may read a portion of the disc, then spin it down. If the E07 error occurs when the player is reading material at the outside of the disc, check to make sure that the disc is not warped.

Lay the disc on a flat surface. If you can slide a dime under the center hole of the disc, it is warped. Check both sides. If the disc is warped, leave it on the flat surface, place several heavy books on it and leave it overnight. This will flatten out the disc, then you can try to play it again. Also, make sure the disc is free of scratches or greasy finger prints.

If the player still spins down the disc when searching or playing to the higher numbers of the disc, and you see the E07 error on the illuminated front panel, the player may need service. Call 1-800-872-4159 for your nearest Authorized Service Center.

2)E03 — Mis-clamp condition on spin-up

The player begins to spin up the disc, then immediately spins it down and you see the E03 error on the illuminated front panel of the player. This error can be caused by a disc that is out of specification. Try playing several different discs.

If the problem persists, and you see the E03 error on the front panel after trying to play several different discs, the player may need service. Call 1-800-872-4159 for your nearest Authorized Service Center.

CLD-V2600 / 2400 Level I & III • Chapter One

1 Introduction

Please refer first to the Operating Instructions, packaged with the CLD-V2600 or the CLD-V2400, for essential information about player operation and safety.

1.1 Scope Of Level I & III Manual

This manual is a reference guide to assist programmers and developers in using the Pioneer Industrial Combination LaserDisc/Compact Disc Player, Model CLD-V2600 & Model CLD-V2400. It contains information for Level I direct player control using the front panel buttons, a remote control unit (CU-V113 or RU-V103), or a Pioneer barcode reader (UC-V108BC or UC-V109BC). It also contains technical information to assist programmers in the design and development of Level III program applications to run under computer control.

All Pioneer Industrial Laser Videodisc Players, Models CLD-V2600, CLD-V2400, LD-V4400, LD-V8000, LD-V2200, and the LD-V2000, can be used as stand-alone systems. When connected to a television or video monitor, they become self-contained interactive audio-video retrieval and display systems for Level I use. They may also be connected to and controlled by an external computer for Level III applications, often working in conjunction with computer databases.

The CLD-V2600, CLD-V2400, LD-V4400, LD-V8000 can be connected to a stereo amplifier and speaker system for playback of high quality digital sound. This feature is especially useful when playing compact audio discs or LaserDiscs with digital audio.

Controlling the CLD-V2600 or the CLD-V2400 as part of a Level I or Level III delivery system is the main focus of this manual.

1.2 Features of the CLD-V2400 and the CLD-V2600

The CLD-V2400 and the CLD-V2600 players include the following features:

•Playback of LaserDiscs (LDs), compact audio discs (CDs) and compact disc video (CDVs). The CLD-V2400 & 2600 do not playback CD-ROM discs.

•Playback of digital audio or analog audio playback from LaserDiscs.

•RS-232C interface, compatible with the Pioneer LD-V8000, LD-V2200,

LD-V4400 and the LD-V4200 (discontinued), LC-V330 Autochanger, the LD-V4100 (PAL player), and the CLD-V2300D & LD-V4300 (Dual Standard NTSC/PAL players).

•Built-in LaserBarcode™, LaserBarcode 2™, and Barcode-CD™ capability, using the Pioneer barcode reader UC-V108 BC or UC-V109BC.

•Wireless/wired remote control with the CU-V113 or the RU-V103.

•Fully automatic disc loading system.

LaserBarcode™ and LaserBarcode 2™ are Registered TradeMarks of Pioneer Electronics Corp. Barcode-CD™ is a Registered Trademark of SONY, Inc.

1.3 Special Features of the CLD-V2600

The CLD-V2600 has all the features of the CLD-V2400 and more. Additional features of the CLD-V2600 include:

•The CLD-V2600 is well-suited to extended operation in kiosks, etc.

•It has a 12 line x 20 character user display (2 more lines than CLD-V2400).

•It is fully plug compatible with CLD-V2400 with the same RS-232C mnemonic command set.

•The headphone jack with volume control, the SCAN control shuttle dial, and the front panel illuminated display all help to make this player ideal for use in individual work stations or as part of multimedia “creation stations”.

•Three video output options: S-Video, Composite Video or RF Modulated video for ease of connection to different video or TV monitors.

1.4Overview of Player Control Methods

The CLD-V2600 & the CLD-V2400 player can be used for Level I or Level III control of LaserDiscs (LDs), compact audio discs (CDs) or compact video discs (CDVs). NOTE: The use of the term CD in this manual refers primarily to CD audio discs and includes, by inference, CDVs. The three player control methods are:

•Level I — Manual Control using a remote control unit (CU-V113 & RU-V103), using a Pioneer barcode reader, or using the player’s front panel buttons. (LD/CD)

•Level II — Internal Program Control by loading Level II programs into a Level II compatible player’s memory. Usually the programs are specially encoded onto a Level II videodisc. The CLD-V2600 and the CLD-V2400 players do not have built in Level II capability.

•Level III — External Computer Control by sending commands from an external computer to the player via the RS-232C serial interface. (LD/CD)

Levels I, II and III describe the delivery platforms for interactive videodisc applications:

•A Level I system consists of a videodisc player and a monitor. The player is controlled by using a remote control unit or a Pioneer barcode reader or the front panel buttons on the player. Level I is used for playing discs continuously, for simple searches, for searching to and stepping through a specific series of still frames (LD) or tracks (CD), or for playing discrete motion video segments (LD) or discrete audio segments (CD).

1-2	TP 117 v. 2.0 • 12/93 CLD-V2600 / 2400 Level I & III User’s Manual

CLD-V2600 / 2400 Level I & III • Chapter One

•Level II systems are comprised of various hardware configurations. A Level II system usually consist of only a videodisc player with a

programmable memory, such as the LD-V8000, a monitor and a remote control unit. However, Level II systems can include additional hardware such as a touch screen, printer, etc.

In Level II, these systems are controlled by loading a Level II program into the memory of the player from a program specially encoded Level II videodisc, or by sending ASCII-Hex commands to the player’s memory from the remote control unit or via the RS-232C interface from an external computer.

The CLD-V2600 & CLD-V2400 Videodisc players do not support Level II applications. For more information on Level II, refer to Pioneer’s

Level III — External Computer Control

Level III programs are used to control the player from an external computer attached to the player’s RS-232C port. The player’s Level III mnemonic command set is used to develop interactive programs for the CLD-V2600 or the CLD-V2400. (See Section 4.4 on pages 4-5 and 4-6 or Appendix A for the list of mnemonic commands available.) Level III mnemonic commands are also used to control the LD-V8000, the LD-V4400, and the LD-V2200 (NTSC players), LD-V4200 (discontinued NTSC player), the CLD-V2300D and the LD-V4300D (NTSC/PAL players), and the LD-V4100 (PAL player). See Technical Bulletin #143 , Comparative Mnemonic Command Chart. Level III is often used when a program designer wants users to access a large database from a computer, along with video and audio material on a disc. Level III requires that a computer be connected to every player. A file server may be used to network the computers at the various workstations.

2 Operational Basics

This chapter provides an overview of the player’s internal operations — Operating Modes and the player’s Active States; diagrams of the player’s Front and Rear Panels; a description of the player’s Front Panel Indicators, Player Interfaces, and Function Switches. Before developing or presenting programs on the CLD-V2600 or CLD-V2400 the user should read this chapter and become familiar

with the introductory concepts, illustrations and operational basics. (See Appendix H,

CLD-V2600 & CLD-V2400 Internal Player Controls, for more details.)

2.1 Internal Operations

The player’s internal operating processes are classified into two groups: Operating Modes indicating player operation status, and Active States indicating player processing status.

2.1.1 Operating Modes

The CLD-V2600 and the CLD-V2400 have the following two Operating Modes:

Normal Control Mode and Test Mode. (See Figure 2-A on next page.)

These modes are defined as follows:

1) Normal Control Mode

When the player’s power is turned on, the player enters Normal Control Mode. In this mode, the player can be controlled by pressing buttons on the front panel, by pressing buttons on the remote control unit, by sending commands via the Pioneer barcode reader, or by sending commands from a computer via the RS-232C connector.

2) Test Mode

The Test Mode is set in Register C under computer control. (See page 4-43) It is used for player maintenance and management. This mode is used primarily by Authorized Service Company (ASC) personnel to determine key part numbers of the player and to service the player. Generally, the player is not controlled in this mode. Turn ON (1) bit 7 of Register C via computer control to make the CLD-V2600 or the CLD-V2400 enter this mode. Turn OFF (0) bit 7 of Register C to change the operating mode from Test Mode to Normal Control Mode.

2.1.2 Active States

CLD-V2600 & CLD-V2400 processing is performed within several distinct Active States. When a command is executed, the Active State changes inside the player. If you consider player processing as a series of events within the Active States listed below, it is easier to understand the effects of various commands. The player’s five main Active States are:

The player is in Door Open before the disc is loaded into the disc tray. After the door is closed, the player enters Park. When a START or PLAY command is input while the player is in Park, the disc starts rotating and the player enters Spin Up. When the player is ready to play images, it enters Random Access. Random Access is further divided into Play, Still, Scan, Pause, Multi-Speed, Skip (Chapter and Track) and Search.

When a REJECT command is received, the player enters Spin Down Mode. Image playback stops immediately, and disc rotation is gradually stopped, then the player enters Park. Figure 2-B, on the next page, describes how the active states change within the player.

2.2 Player Indicators for the CLD-V2400 & CLD-V2600

The CLD-V2400 has four indicator lights on the front panel. These four indicators are explained below. (See diagram of CLD-V2400’s Front Panel, Figure 2-F, on page 2-7.)

Digital Sound (green) — This indicator lights up after power is turned on, except when a disc with no digital audio is in the disc tray.

Disc Set (green) — The Disc Set indicator lights up when a disc is loaded in the player.

Play/Standby (green)— This indicator flashes when the disc begins to spin up, when disc rotation stops, during a search and while in the lead-out area. It also lights up during playback.

Key Lock Indicator (red) — The Key Lock indicator lights up if a computer command has been sent to the player to lock out the front panel buttons, the barcode reader and remote control buttons, preventing them from being used during execution of a Level III program.

The CLD-V2600 has an illuminated front panel display and a Standby light that indicates the player is plugged in, but not powered on. It also has a Key Lock light, indicating when the front panel buttons or remote control or LaserBarcode Control have been locked out under Level III, RS-232C control. Please see Figure 2-C on the next page for details of the illuminated display window on the front panel. Also see Figure 2-D on page 2-5 for other details on the Front Panel.

2.3 Interfaces

This section describes the player interfaces that receive control signals:

•The remote sensor receives infrared signals from the CU-V113 or RU-V103 remote control units or a Pioneer barcode reader. (See Section 2.3.1, below for details.)

•The Barcode Terminal receives signals from a wired connection to either the remote control unit or the barcode reader. (See Section 2.3.1, page 2-9, for details.)

•The RS-232C port receives signals from an external computer via the appropriate RS-232C cable. (See Section 2.3.2, page 2-10.)

Please see the Front and Rear View diagrams of the players to locate each interface:

•CLD-V2600 — Figures 2-D and Figure 2-E on page 2-5 & 2-6.

•CLD-V2400 — Figures 2-F and Figure 2-G on page 2-7.

2.3.1 Remote Sensor and the Barcode Terminal

The remote sensor receives input via infrared signal and the Barcode terminal receives input via a wired connection. Both the remote sensor and the Barcode Terminal can receive signals from either a Pioneer Barcode Reader or from the remote control unit. Both Barcode and remote control commands are transmitted in serial data streams. Note: The infrared sensor and the Barcode Terminal cannot be used simultaneously.

The remote sensor receives the RCU signals on a 48-KHz carrier, removes the carrier, shapes the waveform, and outputs the shaped waveform. See Figure 2-H. A stereo or mono mini-plug cable (Figure 2-I, next page) can be used to input a signal to the Barcode terminal, when a wired connection from the remote control unit or the Barcode Reader is made.

The CU-V113 or RU-V103* remote control can each be used with a cable that has a stereo or mono mini-plug on each end. The Barcode Reader is packaged with a wire that has a stereo mini-plug on the end that connects to the reader and a mono miniplug on the end that connects to the player. RCU or Barcode Reader signals transmitted via cable are input in the shape of the waveform shown in Figure 2-J, below.

* Neither the CU-V113 nor the RU-V103 remote control is packaged with a cable to connect to the Barcode Terminal.

The Ground Switch connection is used to make either the remote sensor or the Barcode Terminal active. The Barcode Terminal becomes active when the signal is low (or is closed). The remote sensor becomes active when the signal is high (or is open).

RCU input is decoded by the RCU Decoder. See Figure 2-K on the next page and

Appendix H, CLD-V2600 & CLD-V2400 Internal Player Controls for details; page H-3 for Control Block Diagram.

The RCU Decoder interprets both commands and responses from an input device. NOTE: The player’s RCU decoder cannot simultaneously decode signals received via remote sensor and Barcode Terminal.
