MAIN FEATURES

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.

2. 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.

12. MEMO (CD & MP3)

Various settings such as Cue Point, Hot Start, A-B

Loop, BPM, 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-S3500 from an another DN-S3500, DN-S5000,

DN-S3000 or DN-D9000.

13. 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.

14. DIGITAL OUT

The digital output for Main provides a true 100%

digital signal without any restrictions or limitations

regardless of pitch change or mode setting.

15. FADER START

The DN-S3500 FADER START controls are compatible

with our mixers and most other brand mixers.

16. SHOCKPROOF MEMORY

20 seconds of shock-proof memory guards

against audible interruptions due to external

mechanical shocks such as bumps or other hard

vibrations, which is especially helpful for the

mobile DJ as well as for nightclub-installed

applications.

17. PRESETS

It is possible to customise the machine to your

preference by saving your favourite setting to

internal memory. For items found in the presets,

please see page 17.

18. CD TEXT

19. CD-R/RW Play Back

This player can play CD-R/RW discs, but only if

they are finalized. Note however that depending

on the recording quality, the player may not be

able to play some finalized CD-R/RW discs.

20. Power on Play

The player can be set so that playback in the relay

mode starts when the power is turned on.

21. Plug Ins

From time to time, we will add new exciting

features or improve upon the current ones by free

firmware Plug Ins.
