Operation (cont.)
3. Programming Playback
To program track playback:
1. Press Play/Pause and allow the player to recognize the disc and
sort the files.
2. Press Play/Mode button six times to select "Program Mode"
3. The LCD will display two numbers separated by a hyphen: 00-
001 The number on the left is the program selection number,
and the number on the right is the track selection number.
4. Sequential Playback: To play MP3 tracks in the order recorded,
they must be within a directory. Because the player requires
that discs be recorded using the ISO-9660 or Joliet file format,
there is a limit of 256 files per directory, including the main or
"root directory". This means that unless you create more than
one directory on the disc, the maximum number of tracks you
can place on one disc is 256 (still a LOT of songs.) To play
songs in the order they are recorded, create one or more
directories on the disc, and place the songs within that
directory.
1. Press "Play" to have the player recognize the disc and sort
the files.
2. Press and hold "Play/Mode" until the LCD reads "Dir"
Songs will now play in the order they were recorded to
that directory.
5. Advance the track selection forward by pressing the "Next"
button until the desired selection appears. Pressing "Preview"
will move the selection number backwards.
6. When you have reached the desired track for program entry
#1, press "Repeat/Enter" to enter your first selection and
select the next program track (02-xxx).
