Cautions on using media
Loading discs
0
Set the disc in the tray label side up.
0
Make sure the disc tray is fully open when inserting the disc.
0
Place the discs flatly, 12 cm discs in the outer tray guide (Figure 1), 8
cm discs in the inner tray guide (Figure 2).

0
Place 8 cm discs in the inner tray guide without using an adapter.
NOTE
0
Only load one disc at a time. Loading two or more discs can damage the unit or
scratch the discs.
0
Do not use cracked or warped discs or discs that have been repaired with
adhesive, etc.
0
Do not use discs on which the sticky part of cellophane tape or labels is exposed
or on which there are traces of where labels have been removed. Such discs can
get caught inside the player and damage it.
0
Do not use discs in special shapes, as they may damage the unit.
.
0
Do not push the disc tray in by hand when the power is off. Doing so could
damage the unit.
0
If the unit is left in a room full of smoke from cigarettes, etc., for long periods of
time, the surface of the optical pickup may get dirty, preventing it from receiving
signals properly.

How to handle media
0
Do not get fingerprints, oil or dirt on discs.
0
Take special care not to scratch discs when removing them from their
cases.
0
Do not bend or heat discs.
0
Do not enlarge the hole in the center.
0
Do not write on the labeled (printed) surface with ball-point pens,
pencils, etc., or stick new labels on discs.
0
Condensation may form on discs if they are moved suddenly from a
cold place (outdoors for example) to a warm place, but do not try to dry
discs with a hairdryer, etc.
0
Do not store discs in the following places:
1. Places exposed to direct sunlight for long periods of time
2. Dusty or humid places
3. Places exposed to heat from heaters, etc.
Cleaning discs
0
If there are fingerprints or dirt on a disc, wipe them off before using the
disc.
0
Use a commercially available disc cleaning set or a soft cloth to clean
discs.
.
Gently wipe the disc from the
inside towards the outside.
Do not wipe with a circular
motion.
NOTE
0
Do not use record spray, antistatic agents, benzene, thinner or other solvents.

Explanation of terms
AL32 Processing
Equipped with AL32 Processing, Denon’s own analog waveform
reproduction technology.
The reproducibility of weak signals is enhanced by expanding 16 bit digital
data to 32 bit.
MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer-3)
This is an internationally standardized audio data compression scheme,
using the “MPEG-1” video compression standard. It compresses the data
volume to about one eleventh its original size while maintaining sound
quality equivalent to a music CD.
WMA (Windows Media Audio)
This is audio compression technology developed by Microsoft
Corporation.
WMA data can be encoded using Windows Media
®
Player.
To encode WMA files, only use applications authorized by Microsoft
Corporation. If you use an unauthorized application, the file may not work
properly.
Sampling frequency
Sampling involves taking a reading of a sound wave (analog signal) at
regular intervals and expressing the height of the wave at each reading in
digitized format (producing a digital signal).
The number of readings taken in one second is called the “sampling
frequency”. The larger the value, the closer the reproduced sound is to the
original.
Dynamic range
The difference between the maximum undistorted sound level and the
minimum discernible level above the noise emitted by the device.
Bit rate
This is the amount of audio data recorded on a disc that is read in one
second.
Finalizing
This process enables DVD/CD recorded with a recorder to be played by
other players.
Linear PCM
This is an uncompressed PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) signal. Unlike
lossy compression audio sources such as MP3, no audio quality or
dynamic range deteriorates.
