FEATURES
The DCD-1650SR is the penultimate CD player. It features AL24
Processing developed by DENON to allow analog waveform
restoration for a new generation of high-performance media. The
player also boasts a Multi 24-Bit D/A Converter system that assures
ultimate conversion precision and brings out the full quality potential
of AL24 Processing.
(1) AL24 Processing and Multi 24-Bit D/A Converter
AL24 Processing takes ALPHA Processing technology into a
new realm, by reducing quantization distortion even further and
allowing perfect analog waveform restoration also for next-
generation media with high-bit or high sampling frequency
formats. AL24 Processing uses the digital data as a stepping
stone, performing sophisticated compensation in order to arrive
at a likeness of the analog sound waveform as it existed in the
real world. Highly delicate moments such as when music fades
into silence or emerges from a quiet background are reproduced
with breathtaking fidelity. In order to accurately convert the high
quality 24-bit digital data supplied by AL24 Processing, a Multi
24-Bit D/A Converter is used. Operation of this converter is not
affected by fluctuations in power supply voltage (current).
Furthermore, quantization noise within the passband is uniformly
low regardless of frequency, resulting in absolutely transparent,
noise-free sound. Two such converters are used per channel and
driven in a differential configuration. In conjunction with the
l(Lambda Super Linear Converter) that eliminates zero-
cross distortion by principle, this assures impeccable handling
even of minute signal levels, for superb sonic clarity.
(2) Cast Metal Transformer Base and Transformer
Case Construction Shuts Out Vibrations
The transformer which can be a source of vibrations is mounted
on a cast-metal base with high internal loss, to prevent
resonances. The transformer itself is a newly developed type
with a cast-metal enclosure designed to suppress internal
vibrations that could muddy the sound. The renowned “S.V.H.
Loader” principle employs a hybrid construction of plastic and
metal to eliminate resonances during play, after a disc has been
loaded. Further vibration protection is provided by a coating layer
of protein paint and by the double metal guide mechanism that
firmly supports the loader on both sides. A dual-layer top cover
and triple-layer bottom cover provide high rigidity and protect the
player from sound-degrading external vibrations.
(3) Dual Transformer Design
To preserve sonic purity, the audio circuits and digital circuits are
powered by separate transformers. This eliminates the
possibility of unwanted interaction between the two sections.
The power cord uses an inlet-type design and extra heavy gauge
wiring to keep the power supply impedance low.
(4) CD-RW Playback Capability
The DCD-1650SR can play finalized CD-R and CD-RW discs.

Auto Edit Function (AUTO EDIT) (Remote control only)
Edit Function
The auto edit function automatically divides the tracks on the
compact disc into sides A and B, with the division at the beginning
of a track in such as way that the disc’s total playing time is divided
as close as possible by one half.
1. When the AUTO EDIT button is pressed in the stop condition, the
total play time of side A (the first half) and the track numbers (on
the calendar) are displayed for about 2 seconds. Next, the side B
(last half) information is similarly displayed after which the player
automatically pauses at the beginning of the first track of side
A.EDIT will be lit on the display at this time.
2. Pressing the 1PLAY button or the 3PAUSE button will start the
play mode. When side A has finished playing, the player will
pause at the beginning of the first track on side B.
3. Pressing the 1PLAY button or the 3PAUSE button again will
start the play mode. When side B has finished playing, the player
automatically stop.
NOTE:
• Auto editing is not possible on discs including 21 tracks or more.
• Direct search is not possible during auto editing.
• The total playing time on the disc is not the same as the total of
the track times, so the time displayed in the stop mode (total
playing time) may not be the same as the total of the times for
sides A and B in the auto edit mode. (There may be a difference
of approximately 2 seconds.)
qDirect Search
• Pausing at the beginning of a track found with the direct search
operation comes in handy for practicing karaoke.
1. Press the DIRECT button.
2. Press the 3PAUSE button.
To start playback, press either the 1PLAY button or the 3PAUSE
button
3. Use the number buttons to set desired track.

in circular motions from the center and out.
• Do not use water, benzene, thinner, record sprays, electrostatic
proof chemicals, or silicone-treated cloth to clean discs.
• Always use care when handling discs to prevent damaging the
surface, in particular when removing a disc from the case and
returning it.
• Do not bend compact discs.
• Do not apply heat to compact discs.
• Do not enlarge the hole in the center of the disc.
• Do not write on the disc and do not attach any labels.

Wait until the condensation disappears. Never dry discs with
hair dryers, etc.
2Connection
2. Precautions on storage
• After playing a disc, always return it to its case.
• Keep discs in the cases when they are not to be played. This
will protect them from dust and dirt and prolong their service
life.
• Do not store discs in the following places:
1) Places exposed to direct sunlight for a considerable time.
2) Places subject to accumulation of dust or high humidity.
3) Places exposed to high temperatures, such as close to
heater outlets.

INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
ABOUT CD-R/RW DISCS
The CD player uses a microcomputer for controlling internal
electronic circuits. In the event that the player is used while a near-
by tuner or TV is turned on, although unlikely, interference could
occur either in the sound from the tuner or the picture of the TV. To
avoid this, please take the following precautions.
• Keep the CD player as far away from the tuner or TV set as
possible.
• Keep the power cable and connecting cable of the CD player
separate from the antenna wires of the tuner and TV.
• Interference is particular likely to occur when an indoor antenna or
a 300
Ω
/ohms feeder cable is used. Thus, use of an outdoor
antenna and 75
Ω /ohms coaxial cable is strongly recommended.

In some cases, CD-R/RW discs may not be playable, due to
scratches or dirt, or to certain recording conditions. Also, discs
which have not been finalized cannot be played.
NOTE:
• The peak search function reads the level of the disc from
the beginning of the disc to the end at a fixed interval and
regards the maximum value that was read as the peak.
Peak search takes a little time for this reason.
• The peak portion may change each time the disc is read and
there may be a slight difference in the actual peak level, but
since this difference ever so slight there will be no adverse
affects on the adjustment of the recording level.
• Buttons other than the 5OPEN/CLOSE button, 1PLAY
button, 3PAUSE button, 2STOP button, and DISPLAY
button will not function during peak search or repeat play of
the peak portion.
