Adding Content to the Hard Drive
In addition to being a full featured CD player, the HDX also has a removable hard drive for storage and
playback of thousands of audio files.
ALWAYS USE THE POWER SWITCH ON THE HDX TO TURN THE UNIT OFF!
Never turn off the HDX by unplugging it or by using an external power switch (such as on a
power strip). If power is interrupted while it is performing a write operation to the hard disk,
the hard disk's file system directory could become corrupted, making it unplayable. Using the
HDX's power switch will allow it to power down gracefully so this does not happen.
NEVER INSERT OR REMOVE THE HARD DISK WHILE THE UNIT IS ON!
This could result in corrupted data on the drive or damage to the drive. Always power down
the unit before inserting or removing the hard drive caddy.
There are four ways to add songs to your hard drive:
1. Connect the unit to your computer via USB to use the high speed USB 2.0 connection to transfer
songs. This is the fastest method. Make sure the USB cable is connected to the HDX and
your computer before you power on the HDX – otherwise, the HDX will not communicate
properly with your computer.
2. Insert an audio CD or CDR and rip the files to the hard drive.
prerecorded audio CD, then there is a good chance it will be recognized by the onboard Gracenote
Music Recognition database, allowing the artist and song information to be loaded automatically.
The music files will be compressed in the background allowing you to continue to use the unit
normally.
3. Insert a data CD with MP3 or WMA files and rip the files to the hard drive.
4. Record using the LINE IN connectors on the underside of the unit.
Music recognition technology and related data are provided by Gracenote. Gracenote is the industry
standard in music recognition technology and related content delivery. For more information visit

1. 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.
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 corrupted.
When you are finished transferring your files, go to the Windows taskbar at the lower right corner of your
screen and select "Safely Remove Hardware", then select the USB Mass Storage Device and STOP to
remove it. You can then disconnect the USB cable and the HDX will restart. (If you are sure the files
have finished transferring, you can also just pull out the USB cable, but the previously mentioned
method is the safest).
Note: After connecting the unit to a computer by USB, the HDX will go through a "Scanning" and
"Importing" stage to read all of the song ID data. This takes about one minute per gigabyte of data
transferred (so if 40 GB was transferred, it will take 40 minutes). This is normal. Please allow the
HDX to complete this process.
Note: For the HDX to be recognized by your computer, you need to be running Mac OS v10.4.x or
later, or Windows XP or later.
WARNING: Do NOT re-format the HDX drive from a computer. If you do so, you will erase the
firmware and will have to re-load it from CD. Please see "Formatting your hard drive" instructions
in the "Utility Features" section of this manual to learn how to properly format the HDX hard drive.
