dvd players dont usually respond like a deck- they have tracks and chapters.
their timecode values arent unique - and other wierd things.
they need their own controller- i have one in the latest version of the software for the dvd-v8000 series.
i have worked with the pioneer pro dvd players for many years.
the current model is the dvd-v8000 - i tested one recently

and they always seem to do the right type of things. they respond accurately and well.
