MAIN FEATURES
1
Congratulations on your new purchase of the DN-
S3500. The DN-S3500 table top single CD/MP3 player
is equipped with a variety of advanced features,
functions and rich performance for unlimited
creativeness and showmanship.
Professional Structure and parts
1.
Active Motor Platter
When playback is started, the Platter turns, feels
and reacts in the same way as with an analog
turntable.
The active Platter consists of the Motor-driven
Platter, Slip Mat and Scratch Disc just like an analog
turntable for true vinyl emulation. Beats can be
matched and scratching or cueing can be performed
with the same feeling as an analog turntable.
2.
High Torque Direct Drive Motor
Denon's all new in-house design Direct Drive
Motor with brushless construction delivers a
powerful start-up torque of 2.5 kg-cm, enabling
the platter to instantly reach full rotation speed
within 0.5 sec.
3.
33/45 R.P.M
You can adjust the platter speed to spin at 33 or
45 rpm, depending on your preference.
Features and Functions
With the implementation of a powerful DSP and large
memory capacity allows for many new controlling
features such as:
1.
SCRATCH
Thanks to the active Platter and Scratch Disc, the
Scratch sound is comparable to analog turntables.
Furthermore, the Main Track and Samples can be
selected as the Scratch sound source at the touch
of a button.

MP3 PLAY BACK
It is possible to play MP3 and view files created in
the specified format found on page 13.
Files can be searched for easily either manually, or
by scanning or using a number of file search
functions (File search, File/Folder search, Artist
name search, Title name search, File name
search).
3.
NEXT TRACK RESERVE
The next track can be selected while continuing to
play the current track for a seamless transition.
4.
CROSS FADE
In conjunction with the Next Track feature, the
DN-S3500 can perform a smooth internal cross
fade when transitioning to the new track.
5.
HOT START and STUTTER
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.
6.
SEAMLESS LOOP
With this function, any section on a disc can be
played repeatedly between A & B points with no
break in sound or limit in length. The DN-S3500
has a variety of looping options such as Exit,
Reloop and dual looping.
7.
SAMPLER
On-board digital Sampler can record up to 15
seconds CD quality sound at 44.1kHz sampling
frequency. You can seamlessly loop this sample or
play it backwards (REVERSE). The pitch and
output level of a sample can be adjusted
independently.
The B point can be easily set or changed exactly
the same way as you would use with the A-B
Seamless Loop function.
The CD Seamless loop can be easily copied to
Sampler. This adds a whole new level of
CD/Sample remixing.
8.
B TRIM
The B points for the Seamless Loop and the
Sampler can easily be adjusted using the Scratch
Disc. Adjustments can be made in real-time while
playing the live loop.
9.
AUTO BPM COUNTER, BPM LOCK, MANUAL
TAP, and MANUAL BPM INPUT
In addition to the Auto BPM counter and Manual
Tap function, the DN-S3500 is also equipped with
a Lock function for temporarily locking the Auto
BPM counter. A Manual BPM Input function is
available too for inputting the known BPM value
directly by a Rotary knob, so the BPM setting can
be made easily.
10. ON BOARD EFFECT'S
Seven types of effectors are included.
ECHO/LOOP:
The ECHO and LOOP functions can be
selected. Looping for the feedback time (ECHO
LOOP) is possible by setting the feedback
number to "MAX".
FLANGER:
The feedback time and feedback gain can be
selected.
FILTER:
One of three filters (LOW PASS, MID PASS and
HIGH PASS) can be selected and Individually
adjusted.
11. PLATTER MODE
Analog turntable-like playback can be simulated
using three Platter effects.
BRAKE:
Simulates a winding-down sound of a turntable
coming to a full stop slowly. (Slowing-down
time can be adjusted.)
DUMP:
Plays the sound backwards while continuing in
a forward motion without losing "elapse time"
when you return back to normal play.
REVERSE:
(Reverse) Plays the sound and spins the platter
backwards until you return to normal play.
