This is the command table for the DVR-2000/2100. It is summarised here for reference purposes only. If you want to order it from Sony call the Kansas City supply center and hope you get someone who knows the part number for the recorder whose protocol you want to use.

When only DATA-1 is given, the speed wil be given by
Tape Speed = 10^((N/32)-2) x play speed.where N is the value of DATA-1. Some sample values are:
Speed Speed Data
0.1 32 (20H)
1.0 64 (40H)
2.9 79 (4FH)
48.7 118 (76H)
When a more precise speed value is required, then DATA-2 will be added. The speed formula for this case is
Tape Speed = 10^((N/32)-2) + N'/256*(10^(((N+1)/32)-2)-10^((N/32)-2))
where N is the value of DATA-1 and N' is the value of DATA-2.
auth - in more standard terms, the formula says that DATA-2 is used to linealy interpolate between the value given by N and that of N+1.
The maximum jog speed is set in the System:System menu. The maximum Var speed is 3X play speed. The maximum shuttle speed is 50X play speed.
auth - There is considerable controversy over the minimum speed. For a speed value of 0, the above formula with only DATA-1 gives 10^-2, or .01 x play speed. The standard states that when a speed between 0 and the minumum is given, the slave moves at minimum speed. In fact, many editors and control systems intend a "Shuttle 0" command ( 21 13 00 ) to pause the device and have it stop without disengaging. Devices which fail to do so will creep about 1 frame/second in this situation.

This is all the spec states here. What actually happens is determined by the edit presets, in and out point selections, and ee/tape settings. Basically, all three set the device to the preroll position, and run at play speed up to the in point. In Preview, the slave switches to EE mode at the in point, and out at the out point, simulating the edit without disturbing the recording media. In review, the slave simply continues to play at the in point and rolls to the outpoint. In Auto Edit, the channels indicated by the edit presets are put into record at the in point and the recoding proceeds to the out point.
DATA-1:

DATA-2:
Bit 7 Bit 6 Bit 5 Bit 4 Bit 3 Bit 2 Bit 1 Bit 0

when the 41.30 command is used, the audio channels are set as per
the table in the Edit:Setup menu. When the 42.30 command is used
and Bit1 or Bit0 of Data-1 are "1", the Cue channel is selected.

"1": This function will be enabled when in remote
"0": This function will be disabled in remote.
When DATA-2 or more are added, control data with two bytes per each block assigned by DATA-1 are added following DATA-1.
At present the transport switches are defined as follows:
Bit 7 Bit 6 Bit 5 Bit 4 Bit 3 Bit 2 Bit 1 Bit 0
1st Byte Execute Preroll Search Rec Play Stop Standby
2nd Byte Var Jog Shuttle
None of the other blocks have any switches assigned, but rather operate as follows:
Video Control: Video phase and Sync phase can be adjusted on the system menu in remote mode.
Audio Control: Audio levels and output phase can be adjusted on the Audio:DA out menu in remote mode.
Monitor Control: the wfm monitor output selection on the system:wfm monitor menu and the montior level adjustments and monitor out selection on the system:audio monitor menu can be adjusted in remote mode.
Tracking Control: Tracking adjustments in the system:tracking menu can be made in remote mode.

The Status bits communicate much about the progress of a motion command. The precise timing of each signal varies almost from machine to machine, and many edit controlers expect certain timing behaviour of these signals. Herein lie many of the problems associated with edit controllers, edit timing, and just plain wacky transport behavior.
