Introduction 1. INTRODUCTION This document defines the RS-232C command protocol for the Pioneer DVD-V7200 Industrial DVD Player. The DVD-V7200 is capable of playing DVD, CD and VCD discs. The device has three control methods: front panel, remote control or computer interface through the RS-232C serial port. This manual addresses the various commands and precautions required when using the player with a computer.
PIONEER DVD-V7200 Industrial DVD Player RS-232 Command Protocol Manual 2. INTERFACE 2.1 Interface Connector A computer may be connected to the DVD-V7200 through either the RS-232 serial port or the parallel port by using a 15-pin D-Sub connector (e.g., a JAE DALCJ15SAF connector with suitable plug such as the JAE DA-15PF-N). The pins are identified below: 2.2 2.3 Serial Interface Pin Specification Pin No.
Computer Control 2.3.2 External Switch Control (see Chapter 9) Control the player with the External Option Switches (SW#). Please make sure the Key Lock condition. If the player is in the Key Lock mode, the player ignores the control. (Please refer to the Key Lock command description.) 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.
PIONEER DVD-V7200 Industrial DVD Player RS-232 Command Protocol Manual 3. SERIAL CONTROL 3.1 Serial Interface Specifications 3.1.1 Signal Interface The signal interface is an 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 can be set to either 4800 or 9600 baud on the Industrial player menu screen and/or with the Advanced Feature Menu Set command.
Computer Control 3.3 Command and Status The computer transmits a command to the DVD-V7200 and the player responds with the message, ‘execution complete’. Example COMPUTER (1) “Search to Frame 1000” (4) “Play to Frame 2000” ⇒ ⇐ DVD-V7200 (2) Search Execution (3) Complete ⇒ ⇐ (5) Play Execution (6) Complete NOTE: The length of a command string is limited to 32 characters. Please refer to COMMAND STRUCTURE.
PIONEER DVD-V7200 Industrial DVD Player RS-232 Command Protocol Manual NOTE: Some commands, sent after a specialty command which 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. The player returns an R after a command has been executed.
Computer Control 3.4 Error Messages If an error occurs during a command execution, the player returns an error code. The table below lists each code with a description of the error: Code E00 Message Communication error E04 Feature not available E06 E11 E12 Missing argument Disc does not exist Search error E15 Picture stop E16 Interrupt by other device E99 3.
Command Structure 4. COMMAND STRUCTURE The DVD-V7200 supports the commands listed below.

Command Structure 4.3 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 code (0DH hex).
PIONEER DVD-V7200 Industrial DVD Player RS-232 Command Protocol Manual player returns a separate status value upon completion of each command. A status value is a character string with a termination code. Example: ?C?F ⇒ 02 10260 When the request command is at the end of the command string, the R within the completion message is omitted. 4.
Command Structure 5. COMMAND DESCRIPTIONS 5.1 Open Function : Format : Door Opens (Tray Ejects) OP Explanation : If the command is sent while the player is in the Park mode, the tray ejects and the player enters the Open mode.
