1MAIN FEATURES

Congratulations on your new purchase of the DN- S3000. The DN-S3000 table top single CD 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, Scratch Disc, and Slip Sheet just like an analog turntable for true emulation. The beats can be matched and scratching can be performed with the same feeling as an analog turntable.

2.Slot loading and Removable drive

Our newly designed replaceable drive (Slot-in type) structure is geared for professionals who require virtually “zero down time”. The heavy- duty drives are built with optimum parts to assure longevity.

3.Esthetically Ambient Design

Visibility is greatly improved thanks to the large FL tube displays, backlit buttons and the red illumination eject bar. All of these items come in handy during low light environments.

Features and Functions

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.

2.MP3 PLAY BACK

It is possible to play MP3 files created in the specified format.

Files can be searched for easily either manually, by scanning or using a number of file search functions (File search, File/Folder search, Artist name search, Title name search, File name search).

In addition, a number of play modes are supported, including scratch, hot start and seamless loop playback.

3.NEXT TRACK RESERVE (New)

The next track can be selected while continuing to play the current track. Replacing with playback of the next track without interrupting playback is possible.

4.HOT START and STUTTER

The Hot Start function lets you start playback immediately from a set point decided by you.The loaded Hot Start can also be used to “Stutter” that point. When in Stutter mode, momentary audio is triggered according to the length of time of which this button is held down and released.

8.PLATTER MODE

Analog turntable-like playback can be simulated using four Platter effects.

DRAG START: Simulates the dragging sound of a turntable’s slow starting up from a stop mode. (Start-up time can be adjusted.)

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.

RVS: (Reverse) Plays the sound backwards until you return to normal play.

9.MEMO

Various settings such as Cue Point, Hot Start, A- B Loop, Pitch and Key Adjust can be saved to the internal non-volatile memory for later recall. Up to 5000 points are available.

In Addtion, memo data can be transferred into the DN-S3000 from an another DN-S3000, DN- S5000, DN-D9000 or DN-2600F.

10.PITCH/KEY ADJUST

PITCH: Playback speed is adjusted with PITCH slider. Adjustable pitch ranges are +/- 4, 10, 16, 24, 50,100% (selectable live).

KEY ADJUST: Keeps the original key even if the pitch playing speed is changed with the PITCH slider.
