Error Codes
If Firefly acknowledges a command, the return from the player will be <R>. Anytime an invalid command or address argument is received, that command will be ignored and an error code will be returned. In the event that the command was global, again each channel will report back independently.
The following table describes the system error codes:
Code | Message | Meaning |
