Command Mnemonic; Argument; Command String - Pioneer DVD-V5000 Command Protocol Manual

4.1

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.
4.2

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.
Example :
NOTE: If a command requires an argument but one is not supplied, the player
returns an error message.
An Address can be a Title, a Chapter, a Track, a Frame Number, or a Time Code
depending upon how the address flag is set. The Address must not exceed ten
characters and/or digits.
