1FEATURES

(1)HDCD® (High Definition Compatible Digital) decoder (DCM-380 only)

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-380/280 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-380/280, enhancing its outstanding features.

(7)CD-RW Playback Capability

The DCM-380/280 can play finalized CD-R and CD-RW discs.

(8)MP3 Playback
