USB Master Mode
By connecting a USB mass storage class device such as a USB hard drive, keychain drive or portable
media player to the MASTER USB connector on the back of the iCDX, you can access, play, and scratch
your music files in the same way you might play a normal audio CD.
To access your USB device:
1. First make sure it is connected to the USB MASTER connector on the back panel of the
iCDX.
2. Press and release the SRC button.
3. Turn the parameter knob until the display indicates "USB-MASTER", then press down on
the parameter knob.
4. After the iCDX has first analyzed the partition structure (max 9 partitions), then analyzed
the folder structure (max 999 folders) of the USB device, you can then navigate through
your USB device by following the instructions below.
Note: Make sure that your USB device is formatted using either the HFS+ or the FAT file system. The
iCDX will not recognize devices that are formatted NTFS.
proprietary file system that cannot be read by third party companies. When using Microsoft Windows
to format a USB device larger than 32GB, you may need to use a third-party program to format using
the FAT file system.
USB Mass Storage Device
To access files on a USB mass storage class device, use the track knob to choose which folder you want
to open, then press down on the knob to enter that folder. You can then use the track knob to either
navigate to another folder level or choose an audio file in the current folder that you want to play.
Hint: To organize a large music collection you might consider creating a separate folder for each artist.
Please note:
Because not all MP3 devices are USB mass storage class, not every player will be
compatible with the iCDX.
If there are no MP3 files inside a folder you are browsing on your external device, the iCDX
will display "No MP3 files in this folder, PLS try another one."
To change MP3 display mode, hold the TIME button and press the MODE button to toggle
between file name, ID3 song title, ID3 album title and ID3 artist name.
Apple iPod
To access songs on an iPod, your songs must first be stored in playlists (unless you are using the iPod
shuffle*). Playlists can be created using iTunes and some third party programs designed to access the
iPod. Each playlist will appear as a separate folder on the iCDX. Once the iPod is connected, use the
track knob to choose which playlist you want to use, and then press down on the track knob to enter
that playlist. Once in a playlist, use the track knob to choose which song you want to play. To choose
a different playlist, press the BACK button to back out to the main list of playlists.
information on creating playlists on your iPod, please check the HELP section of your Apple iTunes
software.
* If you are using the iPod Shuffle, the songs are directly accessible, and playlists are not possible or
required.
