®

database as of April 2006.

¢ Easy searching thanks to various search menus

In addition to the “genre”, “artist”, “album” and “track” search
menus, it is also possible to create up to 20 original playlists or use
two automatically generated playlists (of recently recorded tracks
and recently played tracks) to easily search for the desired track
among the many tracks recorded on the hard disk.

¢ Monitoring of the tracks being recorded

When recording from a CD onto the hard disk, it is possible to
monitor the tracks being recorded or to play tracks previous
recorded on the hard disk.

¢ Editing of files from a computer using Denon

Music Manager

ensure stable operation, it is recommended to use the set
indoors at a temperature of 5°C (41°F) ~ 35°C (95°F).

Before using

Pay attention to the following before using this unit:

• Moving the unit.

First eject the disc and turn off the power, wait 3 minutes after
turning off the power, then unplug the power cord from the power
outlet.
Disconnect the connection cables between the different
components before doing this.

•

Cautions on using mobile phones.

Using a mobile phone near this unit may result in noise. If so, move
the mobile phone away from this unit when it is in use.

• Condensation (dew).

Water droplets may condense on internal operation parts if the set
is brought into a heated room from the cold outdoors or when the
room is heated rapidly. If this happens, the set may not operate
properly.

• Should condensation occur.

The condensation will evaporate in one hour or less, at which time
the system will function normally.

•Before turning the power operation switch on.

Check once again that all connections are correct and that there are
not problems with the connection cables. Always set the power
operation switch to the standby position before connecting and
disconnecting connection cables.

• Sufficiently ventilate the place of installation.

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 could get dirty,
in which case it will not be able to read the signals properly.

• Store the operating instructions in a safe place.

After reading the operating instructions, store them in a safe place
as they could come in handy in the future.

• Power is supplied to some of the circuitry even when the power
is set to the standby mode using the power operation switch.
When traveling or leaving home for long periods of time, be
sure to unplug the power supply cord from the power outlet.

• Note that the illustrations in these instructions may differ from
the actual unit for explanation purposes.

Cautions on handling the hard disk (also referred
to as hard disk drive or “HDD”)

The HDD is a recording medium with many fragile elements. Be
careful of the following when handling it.

¢ Cautions on the installation environment

• Do not obstruct the cooling fan’s ventilation holes on the rear
panel.

• Set on a flat surface that is not subject to vibrations or shocks.

• Do not place on receivers (amplifiers) or other components that
get hot during operation.

• Place in a room that does not fill with smoke. (Cigarette smoke,
the smoke from the food smoking process, insecticides and the
like can damage the HDD.)

¢ Cautions during operation

To avoid partial damage to the HDD’s recording surface or
malfunction of the HDD, heed the following during operation:

• Do not subject to vibrations or shocks.

• Do not unplug the power cord. (Note that the sound being
recorded or played could be lost if there is a power failure during
operation.)

¢ Backing up the HDD
