Entertainment Systems • MP3 directory mode represents a directory structure consisting of one level of directories (folders). The CD player sequentially numbers all MP3 tracks on the disc (denoted by .mp3 extension) and all directories containing MP3 files, from 01-01 to 99-99. The first two digits denote the directory number and the last two digits denote the track number within that directory. • Creating discs with only one level of subdirectories will help with navigation through the disc files. ERROR MESSAGES You may experience an error message for the following situations: • NO DISC when the CD control is pressed and there is not a CD present. • DISC ERR when there is a damaged or unreadable disc. Such as, data discs containing no .mp3 files, or for data discs containing more than 255 files or directories. • CD ERR for any other disc malfunction. SAMPLE HIERARCHIES If you are burning your own MP3 discs, it is important to understand how the MACH௡ MP3 music system will read the hierarchies you create. This is an example of creating a directory structure that is one level deep with various types of music. While various files are present, (files with extensions other than mp3), only files with the .mp3 extension will be played. Other files will be ignored by the system. This enables you to use the same MP3 disc for a variety of tasks on your work computer, home computer and your MACH௡ MP3 music system. 28
