Features; Cautions On Handling - Denon DCD-2020AE Owner's Manual

Features

Advanced AL32 Processing and High-precision 32
bit D/A Converter
Equipped with Advanced 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.
Also equipped with a high-performance, 32 bit/192 kHz-compatible
D/A Converter for analog signal conversion of the digital data
expanded with Advanced AL32 Processing.
Playback of CD-R/CD-RW/CD-ROM discs (MP3/
WMA) and USB audio (MP3/WMA/WAV/AAC)/
iPod
Can be used as a D/A convertor
Digital audio signals input from an external device or computer into
this unit can be converted and output as analog signals using this
unit's D/A converter.
Reduced power consumption during standby
In consideration of the environment, power consumption during
standby has been reduced to 0.2 W or better.

Advanced S.V.H. Mechanism & Direct Mechanical
Ground Construction
In the newly developed Advanced S.V.H. Mechanism, each
individual part, including the aluminum die-cast tray, is composed
of different metallic materials each designed for their specific
purpose. This produces outstanding vibration-damping properties,
including damping enhancement and diffusion of the resonance
point due to the high mass. The mechanism is designed with a
low center of gravity, reducing vibration from the inner area during
disc rotation, and its structure is also highly resistant to external
vibration.
It also employs Direct Mechanical Ground Construction, which
completely eliminates the impact of internal and external vibration,
for example by locating the power transformer close to the foot.
This prevents the transmission of unwanted vibration as well as
noise outflow.

Cautions on handling

• Before turning the power on
Check once again that all connections are correct and that there are
no problems with the connection cables.
• Power is supplied to some of the circuitry even when the unit is
set to the standby mode. When going on vacation or leaving home
for long periods of time, be sure to unplug the power cord from the
power outlet.
• Proper ventilation
If the unit is left in a room full of the smoke from cigarettes, etc., for
long periods of time, the surface of the optical pickup may get dirty,
preventing it from receiving the signals properly.
• About condensation
If there is a major difference in temperature between the inside of
the unit and the surroundings, condensation (dew) may form on
the operating parts inside the unit, causing the unit not to operate
properly.
If this happens, let the unit sit for an hour or two with the power
turned off and wait until there is little difference in temperature
before using the unit.
• Cautions on using mobile phones
Using a mobile phone near this unit may result in noise. If that
occurs, move the mobile phone away from this unit when it is in use.
• Moving the unit
Turn off the power and unplug the power cord from the power
outlet. Next, disconnect the connection cables to other system units
before moving the unit.
• About care
• Wipe the cabinet and control panel clean with a soft cloth.
• Follow the instructions when using a chemical cleaner.
• Benzene, paint thinner or other organic solvents as well as
insecticide may cause material changes and discoloration if brought
into contact with the unit, and should therefore not be used.
