Getting Started

Thank you for purchasing this DENON product. To ensure proper
operation, please read this owner’s manual carefully before using the
product.
After reading them, be sure to keep them for future reference.

Main Features

1. Advanced AL32 Processing and High-precision 32bit 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.

2. PlaybackofMP3andWMAles

A USB port is mounted on the Front Panel. MP3/WMA les can
be played by connecting a USB Player, USB memory device or
discs. An iPod is connected using the USB cable supplied with
the iPod. Music les in an iPod, USB Player or USB memory device
are transmitted via digital signal and can be enjoyed at high audio
quality using the DCD-2010AE’s own audio circuitry.

3. Advanced S.V.H. Mechanism
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 specic
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 outow.

Cautions on Handling

• Before turning the power switch on

Check once again that all connections are correct and that there are

no problems with the connection cables.

•

When traveling or leaving home for long periods of time, be sure to
unplug the power cord from the power outlet.

•Sufciently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.

• 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 so, 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

Cautions on Loading Discs

• Only load one disc at a time. Loading two or more discs can damage
the unit or scratch the discs.

• Do not use cracked or warped discs or discs that have been repaired
with adhesive, etc.

• 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.

• Do not get ngerprints, oil or dirt on discs.

• Take special care not to scratch discs when removing them from
their cases.

• Do not bend or heat discs.

• Do not enlarge the hole at the center.

• Do not write on the labeled (printed) surface with ball-point pens,
pencils, etc., or stick new labels on discs.

• Water droplets 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 them off using a hairdryer, etc.

Cautions on Storing Discs

• Be sure to remove discs after using them.

• Be sure to store discs in their cases to protect them from dust,
scratches, warping, etc.

• 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 heating appliances, etc.

Cleaning Discs

• If there are ngerprints or dirt on discs, wipe them off before using
the disc. Fingerprints and dirt can impair sound quality and cause

motion.
