[[Image:Multimega.jpg|thumb|right|320px|Sega Multi-Mega, European model]]The '''Sega Genesis CDX''', known as the Sega Multi-Mega in Europe, is a [[Sega Genesis]], [[Sega Mega CD]], and personal CD player in one unit. When being used as a CD player, it can run on battery power or the power adaptor. It featured the last version of the Mega CD [[Bios]], v.2.21. SEGA stopped producing the console when [[32X]]s were being made, and announced the CDX as merely a novelty item, and not intended for the main stream. Like the Sega CD and the [[Sega Saturn]], it is compatible with [[CD plus G|CD+G]] discs.

It is about as large as a standard personal CD player, with the only extra size being to fit the Genesis cartridge slot. It's also slightly heavier.
 
 
 
The unit takes a standard [[Sega Genesis#Genesis 2|Genesis 2]] power adaptor, which fits into the top of the unit. It also uses the Genesis 2-style A/V leads, which are connected to the right side of the unit.
 
 
 
The left side of the unit has a 1/8" headphone socket, which works for both CDs and games, and a volume control. There is also a line out socket for hooking up to a hi-fi system.
 
 
 
The front of the unit has controller port 1 on the far left, a power button in the middle, and controller port 2 on the far right.  This spacing looks nice, but causes problems with the 4-way [[multitap]]. Above this there are the unit controls.  From left to right: the Open button for the CD lid, seek buttons for the CD player a small LCD screen in the middle displaying the current track number (including which audio track it's currently playing in-game), or ACCESS when loading a game. Following this are the Play/Pause button and the Stop button, both for CD playback, and a small blue reset button.
 
 
 
The unit itself apparently came packaged with a 6-button controller, a power adaptor, a Red-White-Yellow style A/V cable (probably an RF cable in Europe), along with the Sega Classics 5in1 pack (which contained ''Streets of Rage'', ''[[Columns]]'', ''Super Monaco GP'', ''The Revenge of Shinobi'' and ''[[Golden Axe]]''), ''[[Sonic CD]]'' and ''Ecco CD''.
