2 Installation precautions

• If the DN-T645/625 is placed near an amplifier, tuner or other components, noise (induced hum) or beat interference may result (especially during AM or FM reception). If this occurs, separate the DN-T645/625 from other components or reorient its position.

I / O

_ _

The CD player uses a microcomputer for controlling internal electronic circuits. In the event that the player is used while a near-by tuner or TV is turned on, although unlikely, interference could occur either in the sound from the tuner or the picture of the TV. To avoid

this, please take the following precautions.

• Keep the CD player as far away from the tuner or TV set as possible.

• Keep the power cable and connecting cable of the

CD player separate from the antenna wires of the tuner and TV.

• Interference is particular likely to occur when an indoor antenna or a 300 Ω/ohms feeder cable is used. Thus, use of an outdoor antenna and 75

Ω/ohms coaxial cable is strongly recommended.

NOTE :

• Use this unit in a horizontal orientation.

When the unit is used with the front panel facing upward (and the unit us in a vertical orientation) or when the front panel is on an incline, the unit will not operate properly.

PLAYING MP3 FILES (DN-T645

There are many sites on the Internet from which you can download music files in MP3 format. These files can be downloaded following the instructions on the site and stored on CD-R/RW discs which can then be played on the DN-T645. The music on commercially available music CDs can be converted into MP3 files on a computer using MP3 encoding programs. When this is done, the data is reduced to approximately 1/10 the original size. This MP3 data can then be stored on a CD-R/RW disc, allowing you to create a single 12 cm CD-R/RW disc containing about 10 times more music than a normal music CD, that is some 100 tracks or more (*).

* This is an approximately value for MP3 files of tracks about 5 minutes long converted at a standard bit rate

(128 kbps) and stored on a CD-R/RW disc with a capacity of 650 MB.

✽ Recordings you make are for your personal use and should not be used in ways infringing upon the copyright

holder as per copyright laws.

NOTES :

• The DN-T645 is compatible with “MPEG-1 Audio Layer-3”, “MPEG-2 Audio Layer-3” and “MPEG-

2.5 Audio Layer-3”. It is not compatible with MP1 or MP2 standards.

[Sampling Frequency] MPEG 1.0 MPEG 2.0 MPEG 2.5

• When writing MP3 files on a CD-R/RW disc, set the writing program’s format to “ISO9660 level 1” or “ISO9660 level 2”, “Joliet” or “Romeo”. MP3 files written in other formats may not play properly. With some writing programs it is not possible to record in “ISO9660” format. Use an

“ISO9660” format writing program.

• Generally speaking, the higher the MP3 file’s bit

rate, the better the sound quality. With the DNT645 it is recommended to use MP3 files written with a bit rate of 128 kbps or greater.

• The writing program may change the positions of the folders and files when writing the MP3 files on the CD-R/RW disc, so the files may not be played in the expected order.

• Make sure to give MP3 files the extension “.MP3”. Files with extensions other than “.MP3”

or without extensions cannot be played. (On Macintosh computers, MP3 files can be played by adding the extension “.MP3” after the file name consisting of a maximum of 8 Roman capital letters and / or numerals when recording them on CD-R/RW discs.)

• To protect copyrights, no digital signals are output when playing MP3 files.

• A maximum of 255 folders can be played on the DN-T645. Folders over 8 layers down, however, cannot be played. The maximum number of files is also 999. If there are 1,000 files, only the first 999 are played. (Files other than those with the extension “.MP3” are not counted.)

• On the DN-T645, folder and file names can be displayed like titles. Roman capital letters and/or numerals and “__” (underscores) are scrolled. (However, a maximum of 31 characters can be displayed.) In addition, folder and file names using other symbols will not be displayed properly.

• The DN-T645 is compatible with ID3-tag (Ver. 1.*, Ver. 2.0).

• It may not be possible to play some CD-R/RW discs due to dirt, scratches or the disc’s properties.

• Do not apply seals or tape to the label or signal side of CDs or CD-R/RW discs. The glue could get on the disc surface, making the disc get stuck inside the set.

• The DN-T645 is multi-session compatible. Only music CDs can be played if the first session is a music CD, and only MP3 files can be played if the first session consists of MP3 files.

• The DN-T645 is compatible with play lists. (.m3u of WINAMP Form) (Preset Functions)

NOTES :

• With some writing programs it may not play

properly. In this case, please set to ” PLst=OFF”.

• Play List may require time for reading.

THE COMPACT DISC

Precautions on handling compact discs

• Do not allow fingerprints, oil or dust on the surface of the compact disc. If the signal surface is dirty, wipe it off with a soft, dry cloth. Wipe in circular motions from the center and out.

• Do not use water, benzene, thinner, record sprays, electrostatic proof chemicals, or silicone-treated cloth to clean discs.

• Always use care when handling discs to prevent damaging the surface, in particular when removing a disc from the case and returning it.

• Do not bend compact discs.

• Do not apply heat to compact discs.

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

• Do not write on the disc and do not attach any

labels.

• Condensation will from on the disc surface if it is brought into a warm room from a cold area, such as outdoors during winter. Wait until the condensation disappears. Never dry discs with hair dryers, etc..

Precautions on storage

• After playing a disc, always return it to its case.

• Keep discs in the cases when they are not to be

played. This will protect them from dust and dirt and prolong their service life.

• Do not store discs in the following places :

1) Places exposed to direct sunlight for a

considerable time.

2) Places subject to accumulation of dust or high

humidity.

3) Places exposed to high temperatures, such as

close to heater outlets.

CASSETTE TAPES

Handling precautions

• C-120 cassette tapes C-120 cassette tapes are not recommended as they use a very thin tape base which may become tangled around the capstan or pinch roller.

• Tape Slack Before putting a tape into the deck, take up any slack with a pencil or your finger tip. This precaution prevents the tape from becoming entangled around the capstan or pinch roller.

Storage precautions

• Do not store cassette tapes in a place where they will be subject to :

1) Extremely high temperature or excessive

moisture

2) Excessive dust

3) Direct sunlight

4) Magnetic fields (near TV sets or speakers)

• To eliminate tape slack, store your cassettes in cassette cases with hub stops.

ENGLISH

Accidental erasure prevention

• All cassettes have erasure prevention tabs for each side. To protect valuable recordings from accidental or inadvertent erasure, remove the tab for the appropriate side with a screwdriver or another tool.

• To record on a tape whose erasure prevention tabs have been removed, cover the tab holes with adhesive tape.

DOLBY B AND C NOISE REDUCTION SYSTEM

2 The Dolby noise reduction system substantially

reduces the tape background noise (hiss) inherent in the cassette medium. Dolby B NR is most widely in use. However Dolby C NR is a much more recent development and represents significant improvements over Dolby B NR.

2 Tape background noise consists primarily of high

frequency information, which is particularly annoying during soft passages. The Dolby NR system increases the level of low volume mid- and high-frequency signals during recording and reduces the level of these signals by an identical amount during playback. As a result, the playback signal is identical to the original source, but the level of background noise generated by the tape is greatly reduced.

DOLBY HX-PRO HEADROOM EXTENSION SYSTEM

2 The operating principle of Dolby C NR is similar to

that of Dolby B NR except for the encoding /decoding response curves. The noise reduction effect obtained with Dolby C NR is up to 20 dB, compared to 10 dB with Dolby B NR. In addition, Dolby C NR uses an anti-saturation network and spectral skewing circuitry for a significant improvement in the dynamic range of the mid- to high-frequencies.

(DN-T645 only)

This deck is equipped with the Dolby HX-PRO headroom extension system. Since the system functions automatically during recording, no switching operation or adjustment is required. The system is effective with any type of Normal, CrO2 and Metal tape. The Dolby HX-PRO headroom extension system functions during recording to raise the saturation level in the treble range. Therefore, most of the treble range components distorted or lost during recording on conventional cassette decks are more faithfully recorded on the new DENON cassette deck.

2 Features of the Dolby HX-PRO Headroom

Extension System

• Performance of Normal and CrO2 tapes can be improved to very close of that offered by Metal tape.

• The dynamics in the treble range are improved significantly.

• Since no decoding is necessary during playback, the improved sound can be enjoyed on any type of tape deck, including portable players and car audio systems.

• The system functions whether the Dolby B/C NR system is engaged or not.

MAINTENANCE

Head cleaning

After long usage, tape coating or dust may adhere to the heads, causing deterioration of sound. Therefore, the parts depicted in the illustration should be cleaned regularly. Use a cotton swab moistened with a tape head cleaning solution (such as alcohol).

NOTES :

• Some cleaning cassettes on the market have a strong abrasive effects and may scratch the heads. Always use cotton swabs instead of cleaning cassettes.

• Since the use of metal tape is apt to collect more dust on the heads, the heads should be cleaned more often to enjoy the best possible sound.

Cleaning the Pinch Rollers and Capstans

If the pinch rollers or capstans accumulate dust, tape transport may become unstable, as a result from slippage, during recording or playback. The tape can also be damaged if it gets entangled in the capstan. Clean these parts with a cotton swab or a soft cloth moistened with a tape head cleaning solution (such as alcohol).

Demagnetizing the Heads

The heads will become magnetized after long usage or if strongly magnetized objects are brought near them. The result is a generation of noise, loss of the high frequency range, and in extreme cases erasure of treble components on pre-recorded tapes in combination with added noise. Thus, the heads should be demagnetized at regular intervals. (Head demagnetizers are separately available from your dealer.)

How to Demagnetize the Tape Heads

1. Turn off the power.

2. Turn on the demagnetizer while it is at least 30 cm away from the heads. Bring the demagnetizer near the heads and slowly move it in small circles four or five times in front of each head, making sure you do not touch them.

3. Slowly move the demagnetizer away and turn it off when it is at least 30 cm away from the heads.

BEFORE SWITCHING OFF THE POWER

When you have finished using the CD player, before switching off the power be sure that the disc holder has been closed with the OPEN/CLOSE (

CAUTION :

• Do not forcibly close the disc holder when the power is off. It may damage the unit when it is transported.
