Super Audio CD Receiver RCD-CX1
• Powerful amplifier circuit, providing superior speed and rich musical expression
The amplifier circuit of the DRA-CX3 with its high power conversion efficiency of 90% has been
used in the RCD-CX1 as well. Despite the built-in CD player and compact enclosure, the RCD-
CX1 is capable of high-power output of 75W + 75W (4Ω) to ensure outstanding speaker drive
performance. It very capably drives the Denon SC-CX101, a compact Hi-Fi speaker system. The
RCD-CX1's powerful amplifier circuit gives you a rich, satisfying musical sound.
• Robust power circuit, with ample support for sudden sound bursts
The RCD-CX1's power circuit supplies sufficient, stable current even when demand peaks
instantaneously. Highly efficient, stable current supply has been made possible by a Denon-
developed control system. Sudden bursts of sound such as cymbal claps are reproduced with
realistic clarity.

Speaker System
Speaker System SC-CX101
• 12cm woofer unit with newly-developed glass fi ber D.D.L. double layer cone
• 2.5cm dome tweeter with specialized frame shape
• Unit frame made of non-magnetic die-cast aluminum
• Crossover network, for smooth, even frequency and phase response
• A pleasing harmony between technology and aesthetics
• Beautiful natural wood-grain veneer cabinet
• Thoroughly vibration-resistant construction
From the power supply board, power and preamp board, the CD mechanism with triple-layer
construction, to the chassis that contains these and all the other elements, the construction of the RCD-
CX1 is thoroughly vibration-resistant to ensure that vibration does not adversely affect the sound.
This construction allows the RCD-CX1 to accurately reproduce each individual sound of the original
recording on the disc.
• Short signal paths, to minimize signal degradation
Denon's aim is to reproduce the original sound with complete fi delity and allow listeners to enjoy
the artist's musical expression as it was heard on the day of recording. This has been Denon's
ideal ever since its beginning as a manufacturer of audio components whose job today is to read
audio signals from the disc, amplify them, and send them to the speakers. The shorter the signal
path from disc to speakers, the easier it is to faithfully reproduce the original sound, free of noise.
This principle of "Simple & Straight" is strictly implemented in the RCD-CX1 to give you a clean,
transparent sound.
