Preparing for Programming:
Reviewing the DVD Disc:
Connect the Pioneer player to the video monitor such that the DVD disc may be viewed normally. Place the disc
in the player and press the Play button, either on the player itself or on the Pioneer remote control. Press the
DISPLAY button. Pressing the DISPLAY button a second time should display the frame number count. Scan
through the disc, writing down the starting and ending frame numbers for each desired selection. If an attract loop
is to be used, make note of the start and stop frame numbers also. These numbers will be assigned to the but-
tons on the DVD-204/DVD-212.
If no video is to be played between button pushes, locate a frame of black and make a note of the number. This
will be entered as a still frame. These numbers will be assigned to the buttons on the DVD-204/DVD-212.
If chapters are being used, make a note of the desired chapter numbers. Keep in mind when using chapters that
there must be one more chapter on the disc than will actually be played. This is because of the Pioneer com-
mand protocol. For example, to play chapter 3, the player is instructed to seek to the beginning of chapter 3, and
play to the beginning of chapter 4. Hence, there must always be an extra chapter at the end. If your disc does
not have this, then use the frame mode of addressing.
In preparing the disc, a minimium of “authoring” is required. No commands should be encoded on the disc. All
control functions are taken care of by the DVD-204/DVD-212. Problems arise if a disc has been authored to
“have a mind of its own”; in other words to have been set up such that the disc may be accessed, using the
remote control, via a title screen. In this case all the “intelligence” resides in the DVD-204/212. Discs that are
authored to play on their own will frequently present will conflicts as to who is in charge.
