USB 2. 0 File Transfer To connect your HDX to a computer, first power off the HDX, then connect a USB cable from the HDX to your computer, then power the HDX on. When connected via USB to a computer, your HDX will behave as a Mass Storage Class device, which means it will appear as a normal hard drive to your computer and can be found either in the "My Computer" window (on Microsoft Windows operating systems) or on the desktop (on the Apple Macintosh operating system). To transfer songs to the HDX, simply open the HDX drive icon and drag your audio files from your computer to the HDX and drop them in the "Audio" folder. You can also perform the normal file management functions (renaming, deleting etc. ) right from this window. Note: Do not unplug the USB cable while transferring files or the file system directory on the HDX could be damaged. 2. Copying An Audio CD From The Internal CD Drive If you want to rip a CD to store on the hard drive for playback after the CD has been removed, press the MENU button and choose "Rip/Rec Options" then select "Rip CD" to display the current compression settings. To begin recording the CD, press the track select knob, or press the DSPLY/BACK button to back out of the menu. Note: You can change the compression settings by going to MENU > Rip/Rec Options > Encoding Options. Once the recording process has begun, you can continue to play other tracks from the CD or hard drive while the CD is being ripped. If you play a CD while it is being ripped, the time to rip the CD will increase dramatically. Note: At any time during the ripping process you can check the rip status by pressing MENU, selecting UTILITY, then STATUS. 11 Copying A Data CD From The Internal CD Drive This process is the same as step 2 above. If the files have already been compressed when written to CD, the ripping process will be much faster than with a standard audio CD. Important information about WMA and VBR (Variable Bit Rate) Files MP3 VBR (Variable Bit Rate) and WMA (Windows Media Player) files require special timing information to be generated in the form of a TOC (Table of Contents). The HDX does this generation on files on the hard drive as a background process, so you don't need to do anything. If you see a filename with (NOTOC) at the end, it means the HDX has not yet generated a TOC for that song. If you play a song with no TOC, cue point settings may not be as accurate as usual, and reverse playback may not occur smoothly. Furthermore, if you jump to a cue point, there could be a glitch in the audio playback some time after the cue point. For these reasons, we recommend that you wait until the HDX has finished generating TOCs for all files before playing them live. You must rip these files to the hard drive in order to scratch, play in reverse, or set cue points accurately. Therefore, we highly recommend that you rip these files to your hard drive and allow a TOC to be generated before playing these files in a performance situation. 3. Recording Audio From The LINE IN Jacks To record audio from the LINE IN jacks on the underside of unit, just connect your line level audio device to the connectors marked "LINE IN".
