Getting Started
Thank you for purchasing this DENON product. To ensure proper
operation, please
read this owner's manual carefully before using the
product.
After reading the manual,
be sure to keep it for future reference.
Main Features
1. Advanced AL32 Processing and High-precision 32bit OfA
Converter
Equipped with Advanced AL32 Processing, DENON's proprietary
analog waveform reproduction technology.
We have enhanced the reproducibility of weak signals by
expanding 16 bit digital data to 32 bit.
The player
is also equipped with ahigh-performance, 32 bit/192
kHz-compatible D/A Converter for analog signal conversion of the
digital data expanded with Advanced AL32 Processing,
2. Playback of MP3 and WMA files
A USB port is mounted on the front panel. MP3/WMA files can be
played by connecting a USB Player, USB memory device. Connect
your iPod with the
USB cable that came with it. Music files in an
iPod. USB Player or USB memory device are transmitted via digital
signal and
can be enjoyed at high audio quality using the DCD-
A1
OO's own audio circuitry. .
3. Advanced S.V.H. Mechanism &Direct Mechanical Ground
Construction
In the newly-developed Advanced S,V.H. Mechanism, each
individual part, including the aluminum die-cast tray,
is composed
of different metallic materials, each of which was designed for
its own specific purpose. This produces outstanding vibration-
damping properties, including damping enhancementand diffusion
of the resonance point. due
to the high mass. The mechanism
is designed with a low center of gravity, reducing vibration from
the inner
area during disc rotation and its structure is also highly
resistant to external vibration.
The player also utilizes Direct Mechanical Ground Construction,
which completely eliminates the impact of internal and external
vibration
by, for example, locating the power transformer close to
the feet. This prevents the transmission of unwanted vibration
as
well as noise.

of MP3 and WMA Files
Compressed audio formats such

and MPEG-4 MC reduce the amount of data by eliminating
signal components that
are hard for the human ear to hear. The
RESTORER function generates the signals eliminated upon
compression. restoring the sound to conditions
near those of the
original sound before compression. It also corrects the sense of
volume of the
bass to obtain richer sound with compressed audio
signals.
"The RESTORER function is effective when playing back MP3 files
and WMA files recorded on adisc or USB memory device. and also
during
iPod playback, However. it is not effective when "EXT IN

•Linear PCM signals with sampling frequencies of 32kHz, 44.1 kHz,
48kHz, 64kHz, 88.2kHz, 96kHz, 128kHz, 176.4kHz and 192kHz can
be input to the DCD-A 100. Do not input non-PCM signals, such
as CD-ROM, Dolby Digital, and DTS. This causes noise and could
damage the speakers.
