Basic style

!USB devices (flash memory drives and hard disks) can be used to transfer rekordbox music files and data to and from the CDJ-900 without taking a computer into the DJ booth. This makes it possible to play using playlist, cue and loop information that has been set ahead of time using rekordbox.

!The contents of media loaded in DJ players (tracks, cue point memories, WAVE information, etc.) can be shared. For details, see Using the PRO DJ LINK function on page 13.

!Up to four units can be connected. A switching hub (commercially available) is required to connect three or more units. Use a switching hub of 100 Mbps or greater. Note that some switching hubs may not operate normally.
