Instructions on Programming - DVD4 Version 1.5
Programming Overview:
This program, designed for the Technovision PC-2 allows the following
information to be programmed into the battery backed up memory of the
controller:
- Start and end frames (within title 1) for up to 4 Pioneer DVD players
that are played in sync upon a button press. Players not used MUST
have their beginning frames programmed in as ∅∅∅∅∅∅∅∅∅∅∅∅∅∅.
Failure to do this will result in increased search times on the
system.

This program requires a Pioneer DVD-V7400 with the baud speed set
for 4800.
A programming remote (CUV-162) is required to use this program. This
remote comes standard with the DVD-V7400 DVD player. A custom
control cable (P4-CAB) is also required to control the laserdisc players.

cables, program card and buttons.
