When the relay feature is active, and you have 2
units connected via relay cable, you can use relay

into another. Use a "gap" if you want a space
between songs.
Rip/Rec Options
Start Recording
Selecting this menu option will allow you to use
the HDX to record line level audio via the rear
panel audio inputs. Keep in mind that if you

microphone, you will need to use a preamp or DJ
mixer to boost the signal to line level. For more
information on recording audio, please see the
section "Adding Content to the Hard Drive".

Use this option to record a CD to the HDX
internal hard drive. You can record both
Redbook audio CDs as well as data CDs.
