Each command is expressed as two (2) ASCII alphabetic characters. There is no
distinction between uppercase and lowercase letters except the Character strings in PR
command.

can not use while the video text is displayed on the screen. When any command without
these are issued, the player returns the error code E04.
4.2 Argument

an address or an integer. A Control Register uses an integer value to set a specified value
or condition.
If a command requires an argument, it is always placed before the command.
