Speaker connections
A CD receiver (RCD-S81) and speaker systems (SC-S81) can be easily connected to the S-81 using the
speaker cables included with the S-81.
Note on speaker impedance
If speakers with an impedance below the specified impedance (4 Ω/ohms) are used (for example,
speakers with an impedance of 3 Ω/ohms) with the volume turned up high for long periods of time,
the temperature may rise, activating the protective circuit.
When the protection circuit is activated, the output to the speakers is cut off and the power indicator
blinks. If this happens, unplug the power supply cord, wait for the set to cool off and improve
ventilation around the unit. Also check the wiring of the input cables and the speaker cables. After
doing this, plug the power supply cord back in and turn the unit’s power back on.
If the protection circuit is activated again even though there are no problems with the wiring or the
ventilation around the unit, switch off the power and contact a DENON service center.

Changing the speaker cable
The speaker cable can be replaced with another one of your choice.
Here we describe how to connect the “+” side cable to the connector. Connect the “–” side cable in
the same way.
Insert the hexagonal wrench (included)
into the hole in the side of the “+” side
connector (arrow A).
Turn the hexagonal wrench in the
direction of arrow B to loosen the cable.
Completely remove the cable (arrow C).
Check that there are no broken pieces of core
wire remaining inside the connector.

Peel some sheathing off the tip of the
cable (core sire, copper colored), then
either twist the core wire or terminate it
and insert it in the direction of arrow D.

Turn the hexagonal wrench in the
direction of arrow E and tighten securely
so that the cable cannot come out.

Before playing MP3 or WMA files
There are many music distribution sites on the Internet allowing you to download music files in MP3 or WMA (Windows Media
®
Audio) format.
The music (files) downloaded from such sites can be stored on CD-R or CD-RW discs and played on the S-81.
“Windows Media” and “Windows” are registered trademarks or trademarks in the United States and other countries of the
Microsoft Corporation of the United States.
According to copyright laws, recordings you have made should only be used for your personal enjoyment and must not be used
in other ways without the consent of the copyright holder.
¢ Order in which the folders are played
If there are multiple folders containing MP3 or WMA files, the S-81 automatically assigns the folders numbers when reading the disc.
The folders switch according to the numbers they have been assigned. If there are no playable files in a folder, that folder is ignored.
¢ Order in which files are played
The order in which the files are played depends on the folder structure attributed when the disc was created and other data recorded on
the disc when the files were recorded. With the folder structure shown in the following example, the files are played in numerical order (1,
2, 3 …).
The data stored on the disc depends on the writing software. Because of this, the files may not play in the desired order.
¢ Setting the folders and files to be played
(folder mode/file mode)
Use [FOLDER MODE] to switch between the modes.
•
Folder mode
The “FLD” indicator lights.
Only the selected folder is played.
Example: When folder r is selected
Files 4, 5 and 6 are played.
Folder t is treated as a separate folder, so files 7 and 8
are not played.
• Disc mode (folder mode: OFF)
The “FLD” indicator turns off.
All the files in all the folders from the selected folder or file on are
played.
Example: When file 3 in folder e is selected

NOTE:
• The S-81 is compatible with “MPEG-1 Audio Layer-3” standards
(sampling frequency of 44.1 and 48 kHz). It is not compatible
with “MPEG-2 Audio Layer-3”, “MPEG-2.5 Audio Layer-3”, MP1
or MP2 standards.
•Programmed playback is not possible with discs containing files
recorded in MP3 or WMA format.
• The signals are output with a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz.
• When writing MP3 files on a CD-R or CD-RW disc, set the writing
software’s format to “ISO9660 Level 1”. The files may not play
properly if they are recorded in other formats. Also note that with
some writing software it is not possible to record in ISO9660
format. If so, use a different program allowing you to record in
ISO9660 format.
•With MP3 files, the higher the bit rate, the better the sound
quality. The compatible bit rate range is 32 to 320 kbps for MP3
files, 64 to 160 kbps for WMA files. We recommend using MP3
files with bit rates of 128 kbps or greater on the S-81.
• Be sure to add the extensions “.MP3” or “.WMA” to MP3 or
WMA files, respectively. Files with extensions other than
“.MP3” or “.WMA” or files without extensions cannot be
played. (On Macintosh computers, MP3 files can be played by
giving the extension “.MP3” after the file name consisting up a
maximum of 8 alphanumeric characters and storing the files on a
CD-R or CD-RW disc.)
• The S-81 is not compatible with packet write software or
playlists.
• Up to 32 characters of folder and file names can be displayed.
• The S-81 is compatible with MP3 ID3-Tag versions 1.x and 2.x.
• The time may not be displayed properly when searching or
pausing during variable bit rate playback.
• The time display cannot be switched using [TIME/DISPLAY].
• For files in which the title name and artist name data are stored,
the title name or artist name can be displayed in the play or pause
mode by pressing [TIME/DISPLAY].
• Multisession and CD-R/CD-RW discs that have not been
completely written can be played, but we recommend using
discs closed after a maximum of 10 sessions or discs that have
been completed.
• The S-81 is compatible with the titles, artists and albums of
WMA file meta tags.
• The maximum number of files and folders playable is 512 (total
of the number of folders and files). The maximum number of
folders is 256.
• Copyright-protected WMA files cannot be played. (“Not
Support” is displayed. Use 8 or 9 to select a different file.)
