HYBRID OPERATION

Overview of HYBRID MIDI FUNCTION

Denon’s new Hybrid MIDI mode adds impressive DVS (Digital Vinyl System) versatility to the DN-S3700 Digital
Media Turntable and the DN-S1200 Compact Media Player & Controller with today’s leading DJ applications. World’s
First Hybrid MIDI mode generates the required CD/Vinyl control signal (timecode) from within the deck’s DSP
allowing for super accurate tracking and spinning platter performance (S3700) without using the CD
timecode. Other buttons and knobs can control essential features such as, File Browsing, Hot Cues, Looping…etc
over USB MIDI. Direct DVS support for *Serato Scratch Live, Virtual DJ, MixVibes Cross, RPM and others are
available.

*Serato/Rane Hardware is required (SL1/SL3/TTM57SL/TTM68) for Serato Scratch Live operation.

Hybrid MIDI mode is made available to all current owners and future owners by a simple free firmware update.
