enough to store thousands of your most popular
requested music. This compelling utility allows the DN­HD2500 to be used as your new primary “plug and
play” full featured compact system. Additionally, the

3. DN-D4500/DN-D4000 Drive Support

The DN-D4000 and its successor, DN-D4500 are two
of the most popular dual CD/MP3 players in the world,
which is why the drive transport section was chosen to
be supported natively by the DN-HD2500. Existing
owners of these two CD/MP3 players can easily
upgrade to the DN-HD2500, which will act as your new
controller and media center. CD Media, Internal HDD
and External devices are all conveniently available at
your fingertips.

4. Keyboard Support

The DN-HD2500 will support any standard USB
keyboard for simplified song search of Artist, Album,
Title, Genre, Year, BPM and Playlists.

5. SCRATCH

slip sheet to ensure the same feeling and performance
as found in an analog turntable.

6. MP3/WAV PLAY BACK

The Hot Start function lets you start playback
immediately from a set point decided by you. Up to
two points can be set using the A1 and A2 buttons.
The loaded Hot Starts can also be used to “Stutter”
those same points. When in Stutter mode,
momentary audio is triggered according to the length
of time of which these buttons are held down and
released.

10. SEAMLESS LOOP

With this function, any section on a file or playlist can
be played repeatedly between A & B points with no
break in sound or limit in length. The DN-HD2500 has
a variety of looping options such as Exit. Reloop and
dual looping.

three Platter effects.
DUMP: Plays the sound backwards while

continuing in a forward motion without
losing “elapse time” when you return back
to normal play. (Like a radio edit)

BRAKE: Simulates a winding-down sound of a

turntable coming to a full stop slowly.
(Slowing-down time can be adjusted.)

REVERSE:(Reverse) Plays the sound backwards until

you return to normal play.

15. MEMO

About connected devices

CAUTION:

The HDD is a delicate recording medium including
many fragile parts.
When using, be careful of the points listed below.

• Cautions on the installation environment
q Do not obstruct the ventilation holes on the side

and bottom panels.

w Install in a place not subject to heavy vibrations or

shocks.

e Do not install next to amplifiers or other devices

that become hot during usage.

r Install in a smoke-free room. (Cigarette smoke,

seasoning smoke, insecticides and the likeness
can damage the HDD.)

• Cautions during operation
To prevent partial damage to the HDD’s recording
surface and malfunction of the HDD, pay attention to
the points listed below during operation.

q Do not subject to vibrations or shocks.
w Do not turn off the power or unplug the power

cord. Make sure the HDD indicator is not flashing
when turning the power off. (If the power is
turned while the HDD is being accessed, the
contents recorded on the HDD could be lost.)

• Backing up the HDD
By way of precaution against failure of the HDD, we
recommend periodically backing up the HDD’s data
onto a computer.

• Exemption from responsibility related to reparations
regarding recorded contents
Please note that DENON will accept no responsibility
whatsoever for compensation due to inability to

1. HDD (Internal HDD / External USB HDD)

• About formats, etc. (the following applies to USB
memory devices and all other sorts of mass storage
devices)
q The DN-HD2500 is compatible with FAT16 and FAT32

formats.

w Maximum number of files – 50,000/device. (note #1)
e Maximum number of folders – 5,000/device.
r Folder structure – Up to 9 layers. (note #2)
t For drives formatted in multiple partitions, the DN-

HD2500 only recognizes the top volume (partition), so
when using such drives, move the files you want to
play to the top volume.

y Because a database is created, use a device with at

least 20 MB of free space.

note #1 If the number of files exceeds 50,000, the unit

can play first 50,000 registered files, and no
further files are recognized.

note #2 Cannot playback files in a folder located further

from the specified Folder/directory hierarchical
level.

4. All types of USB devices

q Operation of the USB device may be unstable when

using the bus power only.

w Depending on the USB devices’ specifications, some

devices may not be identified, for example when
using multiple devices.

e If the USB device is not recognized, it might be

recognized if it is disconnected then reconnected.

r Devices on which power is supplied from the device

to the host equipment side in a way not conforming
to USB standards could damage the host equipment.
Do not use such devices.

t Do not disconnect a USB device when it is selected

to be operated by the DN-HD2500 or when the
database is being created. Disconnecting while the
device is being accessed could damage files, etc.

y For large capacity USB devices and USB devices that

are not specifically designed for data storage (MP3
players, etc.), it may take some time for the device to
be recognized after it is connected to the DN­HD2500.

u Use devices in agreement with or conforming to

compliance tests.

5. PC

q Computer on which the Windows XP Service Pack 2

operating system is installed

w HDD with enough free space for DENON DJ Music

Manager to operate

e USB 2.0 connection terminal

NOTE:

• Keys (characters) other than the ones on the above
table are used when inputting characters. For a list of
the characters that can be used, see the section
called “ABOUT CHARACTER INPUT”.

6. DN-D4000/4500/BU4500 Drive Unit

q For a description of the functions and handling of the

DN-D4000/4500/BU4500, refer to the respective
model’s operating instructions.

w Refer to the separate table for the correspondence

between the front panel keys of the DN­D4000/4500/BU4500 and DN-HD2500.

e If the drive unit’s power is turned off while DN-

HD2500 is in the drive unit control mode, the device
selected for operation switches automatically to the
DN-HD2500’s internal hard disk.

r In the case of e, the drive unit cannot be

reconnected to the DN-HD2500 simply by turning its
power back on. To reconnect it, you must either
disconnect then reconnect the connection cable
between the DN-HD2500 and the drive unit or turn
the DN-HD2500’s power off then back on.

NOTE:

• When connecting the DN-HD2500 to a computer, do
not use any software other than DENON DJ Music
Manager.
The data on the HDD may be destroyed and the DN­HD2500 may be damaged if any software other than
DENON DJ Music Manager is used.

2. USB Hub

q Up to 4 mass storage devices and 1 keyboard can be

connected.

w It is not possible to connect multiple USB hubs.
e Be sure to use hi-speed compatible devices to ensure

transfer performance.
(Products marked with the hi-speed USB logo
recommended)

r Bus power type USB hubs have a low power supply

capacity, so the operation of the USB device
connected to such hubs may be unstable. When
using USB HDDs which require strong power or
when using multiple USB devices, be sure to use a
self-powered type USB hub.

t When using a self-powered type USB hub, be sure to

supply power to it when using it.

y If a USB device connected to the USB hub is not

recognized by the DN-HD2500, try disconnecting
then reconnecting the device. If there are multiple
devices connected to the hub, in some cases they
will be recognized if the order in which they are
connected is changed. It is best to connect one
device at a time to check if it is recognized, then add
more devices, checking each time.

u Turn the power of the DN-HD2500 off when

connecting the USB hub to it.

3. USB Keyboard

q Only “QWERTY” type keyboard layouts are

supported.

w Do not connect multiple units. Doing so will prevent

proper operation.
