1.3 Special Features of the CLD-V2600
The CLD-V2600 has all the features of the CLD-V2400 and more. Additional features
of the CLD-V2600 include:
• The CLD-V2600 is well-suited to extended operation in kiosks, etc.
• It has a 12 line x 20 character user display (2 more lines than CLD-V2400).
• It is fully plug compatible with CLD-V2400 with the same RS-232C mnemonic
command set.
• The headphone jack with volume control, the SCAN control shuttle dial, and the
front panel illuminated display all help to make this player ideal for use in
individual work stations or as part of multimedia “creation stations”.
• Three video output options: S-Video, Composite Video or RF Modulated video for
ease of connection to different video or TV monitors.
1.4 Overview of Player Control Methods
The CLD-V2600 & the CLD-V2400 player can be used for
Level I or Level III
control of LaserDiscs (LDs), compact audio discs (CDs) or compact video discs
(CDVs). NOTE: The use of the term CD in this manual refers primarily to CD audio
discs and includes, by inference, CDVs. The three player control methods are:
• Level I — Manual Control using a remote control unit (CU-V113 &
RU-V103), 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-V2600 and the CLD-V2400
players do not have built in Level II capability.
• Level III — External Computer Control by sending commands from an
external computer to the player via the RS-232C serial interface. (LD/CD)
Levels I, II and III describe the delivery platforms for interactive videodisc applications:
•A Level I system consists of a videodisc player and a monitor. The player
is controlled by using a remote control unit or a Pioneer barcode reader or
the front panel buttons on the player. Level I is used for playing discs
continuously, for simple searches, for searching to and stepping through a
specific series of still frames (LD) or tracks (CD), or for playing discrete
motion video segments (LD) or discrete audio segments (CD).
