RS-232C Player Control — This is a simple method of testing the com port to assure the computer and
player are communicating. By opening the communication port, and sending command mnemonics,
users can control the LD-V4400 (and other Pioneer Induistrial Videodisc players) directly from the
computer. Check to make sure that the BAUD Rate of the player is set to match the BAUD rate of the
software you are using, and make sure you have the proper cable connected. Send a command
mnemonic, followed by a carriage return. (See Appendix A, List of Level III Commands.)
communications has been established, the player will execute the command and send back an "R". If the
player and computer are communicating, but for some reason, the player cannot execute the command, it
will send back a specific error message beginning with an "E". See Chapter 4, for more information.
Communications software, such as Qmodem™, PROCOMM™ or the terminal program that is included
with Microsoft Windows™ 3.xx, can be used to establish communications and send mnemonic
commands to the player.
