2. Copying An Audio CD ToThe Internal Hard Drive

DSPLY/BACK button to back out of the menu.

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
drastically. When ripping is complete the CD will be ejected.
Note: At any time during the ripping process you can check the rip status by pressing MENU,
selecting UTILITY, then STATUS.
3. Copying A Data CD To The Internal Hard 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. However, it takes some processing time for this to
happen. 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.
The HDX does not generate TOCs for VBR MP3 and WMA files on CD. 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.
4. 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". Then press MENU, select RIP/REC options, and then choose START
RECORDING. At this point you should adjust the level of your output device to achieve the proper
recording level as indicated on the meter shown on the HDX display. Ideally, the meter should reach the
word MAX without actually touching it. If MAX lights up, the signal is too loud and could cause distortion
in the final recording.
Once you have set the proper level on your output device, press the select knob to continue. You will
then be able to name your recording by using either the select knob or an attached keyboard.
default, the name will be "Recording" followed by a number.
instead, use the back button to erase the word "Recording" and enter your own title using either the
select knob or an attached keyboard. After entering the title of the recording, press down on the select
knob to begin recording.
Once recording has begun, you can press the select knob to split display the meter and elapsed time.
You can also tap the blinking RECORD button once to split the recording into multiple tracks. When you
want to stop recording, just hold the blinking RECORD button until the display indicates that recording
has stopped. The recording will be encoded to the format you selected from the compression settings
menu. Your recorded file will then be available for playback under the name that you previously
assigned it.
To begin importing the CD, press the track select knob, or press the
