COMMAND STRUCTURE.
When using a computer to control the DVD-V7200 player, follow the command
protocols listed below:
ASCII character codes are used for the actual commands and status response
Command mnemonic is expressed as two (2) ASCII characters
Uppercase letters are recommended; however, usually there are no
distinctions between the use of uppercase or lowercase letters
Some commands require an argument, (e.g. chapter number or speed)
Use a command as the terminator of the argument
The player executes a command as soon as the carriage return <CR> is received.
The <CR> acts as the command line terminator.

characters in length.

sequentially from left to right. When the
executed sequentially beginning with the first command in the buffer.
