FEATURES
(1) HDCD® (High Definition Compatible Digital) decoder (DCM-
370)
HDCD is an encoding/decoding technology that greatly reduces the
distortion occurring at the time of digital recording while maintaining
compatibility with the conventional CD format. HDCD allows 20-bit data to
be converted into the 16-bit data of current CDs with no loss in sound
quality.
The use of this HDCD decoder makes it possible to achieve the high
resolution and low distortion characteristic of HDCD when playing HDCD-
compatible discs, and DENON’s digital technology optimizes the high
sound quality possibilities of HDCD technology. Furthermore, normal CDs
and HDCD-compatible CDs are automatically identified, and the optimum
digital signal processing for that type of disc used.
(2) High performance digital filter
The DCM-370/270 uses high precision 8-times oversampling digital filters.
(3) Simple Playback of 8cm CD Singles
8cm CD singles can be played without using an adaptor.
(4) Programming of up to 32 tracks
All of the tracks on a CD can be programmed to play in any order.
Programming in units of discs (all tracks on a disc) is also possible.
(5) Newly developed carousel-type changer mechanism
included
This mechanism can house five discs, and while one disc is playing the
remaining four discs can be changed. In addition, the carousel can be
rotated either clockwise or counterclockwise, so searching between discs
is fast.
(6) Wireless Remote Control Accessory
In addition to general operations such as Play, Stop and Pause, this
remote control unit enables direct selection, direct programming, and
other functions. Use of the remote control unit adds greatly to the
operating ease of the DCM-370/270, enhancing its outstanding features.
CAUTIONS DURING USE
• This compact disc player is capable of playing discs
which have the mark at right.
• During track selection, during search and when the
player sustains a strong impact, the disc’s rotational
speed changes greatly, causing a small noise to be
emitted. This is not a malfunction of the player.
• If the CD player is operated while an FM or AM broadcast is being received,
there may be noise in the FM or AM reception. Please switch the power to
the CD player off at such times.
• The DCM-370/270 has a broad dynamic range. Please exercise caution
when turning up the volume on the amplifier in cases when the playback
volume is low. If the volume is turned up too high, it could damage the
speakers.
• Do not use any discs but exclusive audio discs with this CD player.
• Placing this player or its connection cords near a TV or other audio device
could cause a humming sound to be emitted. If this occurs, relocate the
player or reroute the connection cords.
• Be sure to remove the disc from the player before moving it. The disc could
be damaged if left in the player while it is being moved.
• Do not place any object in the tray in the position where the disc is loaded,
or open and close the tray with anything inside. Foreign objects in the tray
could damage the play mechanism.
• Do not move the player from a cold place to a warm place suddenly. If the
player is cold when brought into a warm room, condensation could form,
preventing proper operation of the player. If condensation does form on the
player when it is brought into a warm room, wait at least 30 minutes before
use.
CAUTION:
1. Always remove all discs from the trays when moving the set. Failure to do
so may damage the set.
2. When the power is turned off, the varied level will be cleared and be set to
0 dB.
