XDJ-RX3 decks 3 & 4 through Rekordbox

When using the RX3 in Performance mode, I can select the deck number on the left side of the display screen, and it will change to either deck 3 or 4. I can then load up a track on deck 3 or 4, and play it. Rekordbox also shows the track playing on deck 3 or 4, and I can actually have 4 tracks playing at once. The problem is that the two faders on the RX3 cannot control decks 3 or 4, so I can't hear the track playing on 3 or 4. I imagine you're going to tell me that the RX3 doesn't support the functionality of switching the fader to from deck 1 to deck 3, etc.. which is a shame, because it seems like the feature is practically built in already. I'm seeing a track playing on the screen on my RX3 on deck 3/4.. It seems like all this unit would need is a software update to switch the fader to a new deck. Can this be something that's implemented for the RX3 in the future?

I'd like to add, I don't expect to hear all 4 decks playing at one. I understand that since there are only two faders, I can only hear two tracks playing at once. I just want the ability to load up a track on deck 3 or 4, then be able to switch to that deck with just one click on the display screen, and have the fader recognize that I'm now controlling deck 3 or 4

I deleted it because it was a mistake.

I don't seem to have those options. My Mixer Mode is set to XDJ-RX3, and in the audio preferences, I only have XDJ-RX3 ASIO Ch.1 and Ch.2, pictured below. I am able to produce the image you have above only when I select my soundcard instead of the XDJ-RX3 ASIO, which is displayed as so: Line (4- Steinberg UR22C), however upon doing so I cannot scroll through the tracks in my Rekordbox library on the XDJ-RX3 itself. 

Also, if I select anything for deck 3 or 4 in the image below, it removes that line from Output Deck 1 or 2.

Basically, the RX3 is not intended for 4 deck performance.

Mixer mode: External. (XDJ-RX3 MIXER MODE: XDJ-RX3)
Every time you switch DECK, you have to change the rekordbox settings yourself.

DECK1/2

DECK3/4

The only way to use it without changing the rekordbox settings is to use it in Mixer mode INTERNAL (XDJ-RX3 MIXER MODE: MIDI CONTROL).
