presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within
the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient
magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to
persons.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is
intended to alert the user to the presence of
important operating and maintenance (servicing)
instructions in the literature accompanying the
appliance.

should be retained for future reference.

3. Heed Warning – All warnings on the appliance and in the
operating instructions should be adhered to.

4. Following Instructions – All operating and use instructions
should be followed.

5. Water and Moisture – The appliance should not be used
near water – for example, near a bathtub, washbbowl,
kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a
swimming pool, and the like.

6. Carts and Stands – The appliance should be used only with
a cart or stand that is recommended by the manufacturer.

6A. An appliance and cart

combination should be
moved with care.
Quick stops, excessive
force, and uneven
surfaces may cause
the appliance and cart
combination to overturn.

7. Wall or Ceiling Mounting – The appliance should be
mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the
manufacturer.

8. Ventilation – The appliance should be situated so that its
location or position does not interfere with its proper
ventilation. For example, the appliance should not be
situated on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface that may
block the ventilation openings; or, placed in a built-in
installation, such as a bookcase or cabinet that may
impede the flow of air through the ventilation openings.

9. Heat – The appliance should be situated away from heat
sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other
appliances (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

10. Power Sources – The appliance should be connected to a
power supply only of the type described in the operating
instructions or as marked on the appliance.

11. Grounding or Polarization – Precautions should be taken so
that the grounding or polarization means of an appliance is
not defeated.

12. Power-Cord Protection – Power-supply cords should be
routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or
pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying
particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit from the
appliance.

14. Cleaning – The appliance should be cleaned only as
recommended by the manufacturer.

15. Power Lines – An outdoor antenna should be located away
from power lines.

16. Outdoor Antenna Grounding – If an outside antenna is
connected to the receiver, be sure the antenna system is
grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage
surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides
information with regard to proper grounding of the mast
and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to
an antenna-discharge unit, size of grounding conductors,
location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding
electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.
See Figure A.

17. Nonuse Periods – The power cord of the appliance should
be unplugged from the outlet when left unused for a long
period of time.

serviced by qualified service personnel when:

A. The power-supply cord or the plug has been damaged;

or

B. Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into the

appliance; or
C. The appliance has been exposed to rain; or
D. The appliance does not appear to operate normally or

exhibits a marked change in performance; or

MAIN FEATURES

The DN-2100F is a double CD player equipped with a variety of
functions and high performance characteristics. Use it for example
for DJ mixing and remixing.

Control section

1. The DN-2100F can be easily mounted on a standard 19-inch
rack.

5. Hot Start / Stutter

Playback can be started instantaneously from points A-1 and A-2.
In the stutter mode, these same buttons play momentary audio
while pressed and held down.

6. Digital-Scratch

This exclusive function emulates vinyl turntable scratching in real
time.

17. Brake / Plat-S

In Brake mode, the playing speed comes to a quick halt,
simulating the STOP function on a vinyl turntable. In Plat-S
mode, it simulates a vinyl turntable’s dragging sound when it’s
power has been purposely turned OFF or ON.

18. Key Adjust

The key can be adjusted automatically when the playback pitch
is changed so that the key (vocal) remains the same regardless
of the pitch change.

19. Relay Play

When this mode is set, CD1 and CD2 starts playback alternately.
This unit can relay the playback of CD1 and CD2 every track or
every disc.

10. Power on Play

The player can be set so that playback in the relay mode starts
when the power is turned on.

11. Fader Start

Up to 4 loaded Hot Starts can be triggered hands free with any
compatible 5 volt pulse mixer by using the crossfader.

12. Auto Sleep Mode / Auto Disc Tray Close System

13. Preset functions - Different presets can be changed
according to your needs.

14. EXTRA REMOTE

Wireless control is possible using the Denon RC-8000 and RC­8001ST.

2

CONNECTIONS/INSTALLATION

COMPACT DISCS

1. Precautions on handling compact discs

• Always wash your hands before before you get started!

• Do not allow fingerprints, oil or dust to get on the surface of the
CD disc.
If the disc is dirty, wipe it off gently with a soft dry cloth.

• Do not use benzene, thinner, water, record spray, electrostatic­proof chemicals, or silicone-treated cloths to clean discs.

• Always handle discs carefully to prevent damaging the surface;
in particular when removing a disc from its jewel case and
returning it.

• Do not bend the disc.

• Do not apply heat.

• Do not enlarge the hole in the center of the disc.

• Do not write on the label (printed side) with a hard-tipped
implement such as a pencil or ball point pen.

• Condensation will form if a disc is brought into a warm area
from a colder one, such as outdoors in winter. Do not attempt
to dry the disc with a hair dryer, etc.

2. Precautions on storage

• After playing a disc, always unload it from the player.

• Always store the disc in the jewel case to protect from dirt or
damage.

• Do not place discs in the following areas:

1) Areas exposed to direct sunlight for a considerable time.

2) Areas subject to accumulation of dust or high humidity.

3) Areas affected by heat from indoor heaters, etc.
