1.1 Scope Of Level I & III Manual
This manual is a reference guide to assist programmers and developers in using the
Pioneer Industrial Combination LaserDisc/Compact Disc Player, Model CLD-V2600 &
Model CLD-V2400. It contains information for Level I direct player control using the
front panel buttons, a remote control unit (CU-V113 or RU-V103), or a Pioneer barcode
reader (UC-V108BC or UC-V109BC). It also contains technical information to assist
programmers in the design and development of Level III program applications to run
under computer control.

LD-V4400, LD-V8000, LD-V2200, and the LD-V2000, can be used as stand-alone
systems. When connected to a television or video monitor, they become self-contained
interactive audio-video retrieval and display systems for Level I use. They may also be
connected to and controlled by an external computer for Level III applications, often
working in conjunction with computer databases.
The CLD-V2600, CLD-V2400, LD-V4400, LD-V8000 can be connected to a stereo
