Command Descriptions
- 17 -
If the player is in Random Access mode when the Play command is sent, the player
enters Play mode and returns the completed status message. The Play mode is the
only mode in which audio plays back simultaneously with video.
If an address is specified, an Auto Stop occurs on the selected sequence. The
specified address is written as a Mark Frame or Mark Time and is compared with the
current address. If the current address matches the specified address, the player
enters Still mode and returns the completed status message.
The Auto Stop command is canceled if another command is sent before the player
reaches the specified address. When this occurs, the player enters normal Play mode
(the Stop Marker command is similar in function to Auto Stop).
If a Picture Stop code is detected before the player reaches the specified address, the
player enters Still mode and returns an error message. However, if the disc program
does not allow a stop, the player ignores the command and it may return the error
message.
The available address modes are listed below:

Sometimes, an Auto Stop command within a VCD Block Number Address misses the
specified address. Depending upon when the command is sent, a playback address
may be missed by a maximum of ten-blocks.
