3. Command Format

3.1. Command Format Overview Byte 1 LF Byte 2 ID Byte 3 Byte 4 Command Byte 5 Data 1 Byte 6 Data 2 Byte 7 Data 3 Byte 8 Data 4 Byte n CR
The codes described here are transmitted in ASCII format (e.g. a command described as 23 is transmitted as ASCII 2 followed by ASCII 3). Uppercase letters are used for letters A through F. All commands must be prefixed by a line-feed (LF) character [0Ah] followed by a Machine ID. All commands are terminated by a carriage return (CR) character [0Dh]. Sample commands Sample 1: PLAY command (Machine ID=0) When the controlled device is in STOP/READY mode, this command starts playback. The PLAY command is [12], and it is transmitted using the following sequence: ID 0 30h Command 31h 32h

ASCII HEX

LF 0Ah

CR 0Dh

Sample 2:Direct search for track 12 (Machine ID=0) In order to perform this operation, DIRECT TRACK SEARCH PRESET [23] command is used. The track number is also sent as a parameter (data). This is sent in four bytes, as shown below: ID 0 30h Command 31h 32h Data: 12th track 31h 32h 30h 30h

The four data bytes represent, in order, the following digits of the track number: the tens digit (1), the units digit (2), the thousands digit (0), and the hundreds digit (0).
3.2. Machine ID Machine ID of this device is fixed to [0]. A command with other Machine ID than [0] is ignored.

3.4. Command Sequence The CD-01U/CD-01U PRO does not have the ACK command for the each transport control command and data preset command. When a request command is transmitted from external controller to the controlled device, the controlled device sends an appropriate return command. When the mechanism status of the controlled device is changed (i.e. from stop to play), or an error occurs, the controlled device sends a command to notify such change to the external controller. Some samples of command sequence are described below: Note that an interval of at least 20 ms must be left between commands. Sample 1: Transport control (i.e. PLAY) The controlled device is in STOP mode. Send the transport control (PLAY) command from the external controller to the controlled device. The controlled device starts playback and sends the CHANGE STATUS return command. Command External controller PLAY -> <CHANGED STATUS Controlled device Status of the controlled device STOP Starts playback Sent the CHANGE STATUS return command

Sample 2: To preset a data (i.e. PITCH CONTROL DATA PRESET) Send the PITCH CONTROL DATA PRESET command with pitch control value from the external controller to the controlled device. The controlled device sets the pitch control data. Command External controller Controlled device PITCH CONTROL DATA -> PRESET (i.e. 1.0%) Status of the controlled device Sets pitch control data to -1.0%.
Sample 3: To request the status or a data currently set (i.e. PITCH CONTROL DATA) Send the PITCH CONTROL DATA PRESET command with request data [FF] from the external controller to the controlled device. If the controlled device has the pitch control data, the controlled device returns the PITCH CONTROL DATA RETURN with pitch control value. Command Controlled device DATA -> <PITCH CONTROL RETURN DATA Status of the controlled device
External controller PITCH CONTROL PRESET (with FF)
