Pioneer CLD-V5000 Programmer's Reference Manual page 9

Chapter One • CLD-V5000 Level III
• Sequential Playback. Use the RS-232C terminal, provided for computer control,
to connect two or more CLD-V5000 players together and achieve continuous
playback of two or more discs in succession. See Appendix E.
• The CLD-V5000 is well-suited to use in kiosks, due to its small footprint.
Dimensions in inches: 12-5/8" (w) x 15-11/16" (d) x 5-1/16" (h) .
• It has a 10 line x 20 character user display. (The same number of lines as the
CLD-V2800).
• The CLD-V5000 responds to a superset of RS-232C Level III commands
available on the CLD-V2800, CLD-V2600 and CLD-V2400. It responds to the
same basic commands plus several additional commands..
• The headphone jack with volume control and the front panel illuminated display
help to make this player ideal for use in individual work stations or as part of
multimedia "creation stations".
• Composite Video or RF Modulated Video outputs provide for connection to a
video or TV monitor.
• The CLD-V5000 player can be used for Level I or Level III control of
LaserDiscs (LDs), compact audio discs (CDs) or compact video discs (CDVs).
The three player control methods are:
• Level I — Manual Control using a remote control unit (CU-V151
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-V5000 player does not have
built in Level II capability. The LD-V8000 is the only industrial level
model with Level II capability.
• Level III — External Computer Control by sending commands from a
computer to the player via the RS-232C serial interface. (LD/CD)
NOTE: The use of the term CD in this manual refers primarily to CD audio discs
and includes, by inference, CDVs.
NOTE: For information about Level I control of the player using front panel
buttons, remote control unit or LaserBarcode, please see the Operator's
Instructions that ship with the player.
