6.2 REMOTE MODE
Function: To set the remote mode
Data length: 2 bytes
Data: 10H, Status
Status: 03H = On
04H = Off
Details of function: This command changes remote mode of MDS.
As MDS does not accept controls from RS-232C when remote mode
is not ON, it is necessary to use this command to enter remote ON
mode.
When remote mode is OFF, if a packet other than the remote mode
on is sent from PC, MDS sends back “CAN’T EXECUTE”.
When MDS receives this command, it forcibly enters stop mode,
REPEAT OFF or CONTINUE. In this condition, MDS accepts con-
trols from RS-232C until it enters remote mode OFF.
In remote ON mode, MDS does not accept keys of main unit, wireless/
wired remote control, parallel input or Relay Play/Rec.
