PRESS RELEASE

Denon Launches Third Generation of DN-2000F Dual CD Player June 16, 1998In the highly competitive DJ CD player market, Denons award-winning Professional DJ players set the standard for performance and user features. Denons immensely popular DN-2000F Mark 2 dual CD player model has now been updated to a brand new Mark 3 version, with a host of improvements in operation, display, interface and performance. The new DN-2000F Mark 3 model features a long list of improvements, including: New, bright and detailed dual fluorescent tube displays (one for each CD transport) give the DJ full indication about disc play status, elapsed and remaining timing, and other important visual information and confirmation. A unique 10-segment countdown bar graph provides a quick at-a-glance visual indication of current position within a playing track. Dual jog/shuttle wheels, similar to those found on Denons reference DN-2500F pro DJ CD player, are now provided enabling smooth search and scan. Each hard quarter turn (90 degrees) of the shuttle wheel is the equivalent to a one-minute jump in either direction, forward or reverse. Playback mode selection buttons have been added, one for single or continuous playback, and another for preset functions. Ten-second shock-proof digital memory guards against audible interruptions due to external mechanical shocks such as bumps or other hard vibration, which is especially helpful for the mobile DJ as well as for nightclub-installed applications. Digital output ports, one for each CD transport, allow the DN-2000F Mark 3 to be used as a digital transport for dubbing and/or editing purposes. For compatibility with the widest range of digital recorders and editing equipment, the DN-2000F Mk 3 is equipped with coaxial digital jacks conforming to the standard IEC-958/SPDIF interface. Super fast playback startup (Instant Start) feature--playback starts instantly, in less than one one-hundredth of a second after the PLAY button is pressed. In addition, the disc tray closes much faster than in earlier models. Disc tray closing time adjustment features user-adjustable disc tray closing times (10, 30, 60 and 180 seconds). This feature helps prevent accidental mishaps when one or both disc drawers are inadvertently left open for long periods, and improves the players long-term reliability by keeping the tray(s) closed when unused. Furthermore, a special fabric gasket surrounding the tray door opening seals each transport from outside contamination, guarding against smoke and dust from entering the machine, thereby extending the players long term reliability in environmentally-harsh venues, such as smoke-filled night clubs. Click buttons give a better feel, improving the tactile response to operator commands. A special Sleep function provides the ability for the user to select a sleep time (10, 20 or 30 minutes), which shuts down the disc rotation motor(s) after a period of inactivity--prolonging the useful life of the player. Advertisement Available now, the DN-2000F Mark 3 carries a suggested retail price of $1,400. For more information, visit their web site at www.denon.com.
