 ITCH software updates available at 

www.serato.com.

 Internal 24-Bit Processing & USB Audio

Unlike most DJ USB controllers that are only USB 
bus  powered,  the  DN-HC5000  encompasses 
its  own  internal  power  supply  to  achieve  the 
highest electrical specifications, resulting in best 
possible performance. The DN-HC5000 features 
industry leading Burr Brown (a product of TI) 24 
bit  DAC  processing  for  superior  output  audio 
fidelity. USB Audio interface includes 2-Channel 
Stereo output pair, 44.1/48 kHz sampling ranges 
and OSX Core Audio support.

2

 BU4500 Drive Support

The  sold  separately  and  optional  BU4500  dual 
CD/MP3 player allows DJ’s to continue playing 
from  their  CD  collection  (whenever  required) 
while still controlling your favorite DJ software. 
The  BU4500  can  also  be  seen  and  used  as  a 
“backup”  system  without  having  to  rewire  a 
thing in the case of computer failure. Just select 
the  ITCH/CD  button  on  either  deck  to  switch 
off over to CD playback seamlessly. This clever 
combo system makes the DN-HC5000 the most 
powerful  and  flexible  DJ  hardware  controller 
on  the  planet.  In  addition,  current  DENON 
DN-D4500  /  DN-D4000  owners  are  welcome 
to  enjoy  all  these  benefits  by  purchasing  the 
DN-HC5000  and  upgrading  your  system  to  be 
computer performance ready (page 10).

2

 Multi Functional Touch Sensitive Jog 

Disc

The  71  mm  JOG  Disc  is  constructed  with  an 
ultra  high-resolution  pulse  and  touch  sensor  to 
accurately  reproduce  the  most  subtle  or  swift 
scratching  movements  made  by  the  human 
hand. 

2

 Vibrant Tube Display w/ 2-line 

Character Text Support

Another  unique  quality  of  the  DN-HC5000  is 
its  informative  &  animated  tube  display.  The 
display offers two lines of character information 
to  quickly  navigate  through  your  files,  crates, 
folders and confirms you loaded the correct file 
without  having  to  look  up  at  your  monitor.  A 
visual 32-position Marker Point indicator follows 
your  hand  movements  at  high  speed  without 
drift.  Other  indicators  include  Looping,  Hot 
Starts,  BPM  info,  Elapsed/Remain  Time,  MP3/
WAV file types, and other useable indicators.
