Transport commands
These commands are pretty straightforward, they function in the same way as the remote control supplied.
NOTE
If pause is sent when the unit is paused, the unit will advance one video frame. If several pause commands are issued in quick 
succession, the unit will engage slow motion playback. (This double function only applies to video discs.)

“INF” status requests and responses
The INF commands offer requests for different types of information on the disc. CDs and DVDs work differently, so the commands and 
replies are different.
Structure for Audio and Video CDs
Note that the first parameter byte (following the “c” or “s” command/status byte) is lowercase on the CD status information.

Advanced commands
Front panel and IR permissions
The unit uses the PSW and IRD commands to disable the front panel or IR controls for automated installations. These settings will 
remain in tact until either the power is disconnected from the unit, or until these commands are used to turn the control back on.  The 
INI command can also be used to reset the controls to its default (on).
