                Media Pro Control Language Statements
                SEM and ICM driver for PIONEER LDP V4400

This summary assumes that the user is familiar with the Pioneer Laser
Disk Player, and its control messaging.  Note that not ALL features of
the Pioneer LDP V4400 are accessible with MPCL statements.

The form of the output from the driver is given in brackets,
e.g.: The initialization string is [FRPA]. All commands are terminated
with <CR>, so this is not listed.


PARAMETER VALUE RANGES
======================

frame <-- { 0 or 00:00:00.00 to 65535 or about 00:36:00:00 }
b     <-- { 0 to 1 }
ar    <-- ( audio register, modified by driver for command )


MOTION CONTROL & POSITION
=========================

STOP @Rr,s,p ;						[ST]
STOP @Rr,s,p AT frame ;					[frameSM]
SEEK @Rr,s,p TO frame ;					[frameSE]
PLAY @Rr,s,p ;						[PL]
PLAY @Rr,s,p FROM frame ;				[frameSEPL]
PLAY @Rr,s,p TO frame					[frameSMPL]
PLAY @Rr,s,p FROM frame TO frame ;			[frameSMframeSEPL]
STEP @Rr,s,p ;						[SF]
STEP @Rr,s,p REVERSE ;					[SR]


CLOSE DRAWER, SPIN UP, SPIN DOWN, EJECT
=======================================

UNLOAD @Rr,s,p ;						[RJ]

note that the UNLOAD command will cause spin down if the unit is
currently playing, or will cause eject if unit already spun down.

LOAD @Rr,s,p ;						[SA]

closes the drawer if open, otherwise cause spin up.


MISCELLANEOUS CONTROL
=====================

SET @Rr,s,p AUDIO b ;					[arAD]
SET @Rr,s,p AUDIO_BOTH b ;				[arAD]
SET @Rr,s,p AUDIO_LEFT b ;				[arAD]
SET @Rr,s,p AUDIO_RIGHT b ;				[arAD]
SET @Rr,s,p VIDEO b ;					[bVD]
SET @Rr,s,p DISPLAY b ;					[bDS]
SEND @Rr,s,p "string" ;					[string]

The "string" is translated so that embedded hex-character specifiers are appropriately translated, e.g., "Send 14h to the unit: \x14" ;  The syntax pulldown in MP4000 describes more SEND features.
