Electronic Q-damping (Dynamic Servo Tracer)
Low
frequency
resonance,
dependent
upon
cartridge
compliance
and
the
effective
mass
of
the
tonearm,
is
electronically
damped
beth
horizontally
and
vertically
to
eliminate
crosstalk
and
inter-modulation
distortion.
This
optimizes
the
performance
of
the
DP-67L's/DP-72L’s
arm
and
results
in
record
repro-
duction
with
outstanding
stereo
imaging
character-
istics
and
a
minimum
of
noise
or
vibration.
Low-mass
straight
arm
tube
with
lamination
damped

Dual
construction
of
the
arm
tube
greatly
reduces
headshell
resonance.
This,
together
with
the
low-
mass
straight
arm
tube
improves
tracing
ability
and
further
contributes
to
the
DP-67L‘s/DP-72L's
clarity
and
stable
stereo
imaging.
Thick

The
use
of
a
thick
turntable
platter
to
minimize
vibrations
transmitted
from
external
sources
is
essential
for
clear
sound
reproduction.

BEFORE USE
Please take note of the following precautionary steps
before using your new turntable.
Wher moving the turntable
To avoid short circuits and wire disconnections,
always unplug the power supply cord and other audio
connections before moving the turntable.
Before turning the pawer ON
Check
once
more
to
make
sure
that
there
are
no
improper
connections
and
that
all
cords
and
cables
are
in
good
working
order.
Always
switch
the
unit
OFF
before
connecting
or
disconnecting
cords
or
cables.
When noise interferes with the tuner
if any tuner interference occurs while the turntable
is in use, it may be necessary to move the units
further apart from one another.
PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE USE
Avoid high temperatures
Avoid placing the turntable in direct sunlight or near
a room heater for long periods of time. Also, place
_ turntable at least 10cm away from the wail to
* _” *qr proper ventilation.

Retain this instruction manual
After
reading
this
manual,
keep
it
handy
for
future
reference.
Some
illustrations
may
differ
from
the
actual
turn-
table
unit.
Insecticides and chemically treated rags
if
insecticides,
benzene
or
paint
thinner
comes
into
contact
with
the
cabinet,
discoloration
or
deforma-
tion
of
the
base
may
occur.
Use
a
soft
cloth
to
wipe
off
dust;
do
not
use
chemically
treated
rags.

Humidity, water and dust are detrimental
When
the
turntable
is
placed
in
a
humid
or
dusty
environment,
malfunctions
may
occur,
As
a
precau-
tion,
do
not
place
a
vase
or
other
objects
containing
water
near
the
unit;
water
may
cause
short
circuits,
leading
to
fire
or
shock
hazards.
Handle the power plug-with care
Handle the power plug gently; avoid scratching it,
because a damaged power piug or cord is highly
dangerous. Always hold the plug, when removing the
power cord from the outlet.
The rated supply voltage is shown on the rating label
at the rear of the base. Always plug the unit into
the specified voltage outlet. Never attempt to use
different power supply voltages.
Do not insert foreign objects in the turntable
Avoid placing metallic objects, such as needles,
hairpins and coins on the tumtable. They may fall
into the motor and cause malfunctions or electric
shocks.
Never open the cabinet
Do not open the cabinet or the bottom plate; you
may be exposing yourself to danger.
lf malfunction occurs, pull the power plug out
immediately
and
call
your
DENON
dealer.
Do not place objects on or near the vents
When
the
vents
are
blocked
by
objects
(such
as
cassette
cases)
the
inside
temperature
will
rise
and
may
cause
a
malfunction,
When leaving your home
When
the
turntable
will
not
be
used
for
extended
period,
such
as
when
you
are
away
on
a
trip,
always
remove
the
power
plug
from
the
socket.
PARTICULARITES
Amortissament électronique (serve dynamique}
Les résonnances de basses fréquences, induites par le
coefficient d‘élasticité de la cellule phonolectrice et
la masse utile du bras de lecture, sont amortie élec-
troniquement en sens horizontal et vertical pour
éliminer efficacement la diaphonie et la distortion
d‘intermodulation. Ceci permet au bras de lecture a
faible de masse de déliver son meilleur rendement
afin que l'image stéréo soit excellente et que le brurt
et les vibrations soient les plus faibles possible.
Bras rectiligne a faible masse avec embout amorti
par lamination
La resonnance de l’embout a été trés nettement
reduite gréce a sa configuration double, Ceci, avec la
forme rectiligne du bras, garantit une excellente tenue
de sitton pour que l’image stéréo soit stable et le son
clair.

2. Cartridge installation
(1) Remove the arm tube. lnstall the cartridge
onto the headshell section by referring to
Figs. 3-6.
Two types of fixing screws with different
lengths are supplied: choose the screws of the
appropriate length for your cartridge.
When installing the cartridge, first loosely fix
the screws so that some movement is possible.
Adjust the position of the cartridge so that
the stylus tip is located 50mm from the end of
the headshell, as shown in Fig. 3.
Next, adjust the cartridge so that it is parallel
{Fig. 4) and vertical (Fig. 5) to the headshell.
Tighten the screws further to secure the
cartridge to the headshell.
Note:No deterioration in performance will
occur even if the stylus position is shifted
imm or so during thesa adjustments.

® Tonearm height adjustments
Adjust the height of the tonearm according to the
cartridge to be used.
Lower the tonearm by pressing the lifter (cueing)
button and observe the arm tube while the stylus
is on the record disc. If the arm tube is not parallel
to the record surface, first return the arm to the
arm rest, and then adjust the tonearm height. Loosen
the arm height setting screws (refer to Fig. 13) using
the furnished screwdriver and adjust the tonearm
_ main body height until the tonearm is parallel to the
record surface.
Tighten the screws securely after adjustment.
Note: The lifter arm is adjusted before shipping.
However, depending on cartridge, it is
possible that the stylus tip touches the
record even when the lifter is raised or
the stylus tip does not touch the record
even when the lifter is lowered, even
though the lifter arm is operating proper-
ly. in such cases, loosen the arm lifter
height fixing screw, as shown in Fig. 14.
Move the lifter up and down, adjusting
the height so that the gap between the
lifter arm and the arm main body is
between 0.5 — 1.0mm when the lifter
is lowered and the stylus is touching the
record.
After making these adjustment, securely
tighten the screws which were loosened.

to the slit at the end of the tonearm and insert,
as shown in Fig. 9.
(2) Secure the headshell to the arm securely by
tightening the lock nut in the direction of the
arrow until it stops, as shown in Fig. 9. When
tightening the lock nut, avoid applying excess
force to the arm pivots.
(3) When detaching the headshell, rotate the Jock
nut in the reverse direction of the arrow and
pull out gently.

with the hinge projections and push in the direction
of the arrow, as shown in Fig. 10. When removing,
open the dust cover fully and pull in the reverse
direction of the arrow.
Note: The dust cover will not clase completely
if the metal mounts of the dust cover
are not inserted fully into the hinges.
Grasp only the sections near the metal
mount of the dust cover when installing
or removing.
@ Insulator feet height adjustment
The height of each foot can be adjusted by rotating
it by hand. (Fig. 11)
Place the turntable where you intend to use it and
adjust the height of each insulator foot so that the
turntable mat surface becomes Jevel.
CONNECTIONS
Make sure to turn OFF the power switch of the
amplifier and make the connections, as shown in
Fig. 12.
(1) Connect the red (R) and white (L} output cable
pin plugs securely into the Right and Left
PHONO terminal jacks of the amplifier.

® Stylus force adjustment
Adjust the stylus force to the optimum level by
following the procedures explained below. Both
the straight-type and S-type arm tubes can be adjust-
ed by the same procedures.
Note:When using cartridges with removable
stylus covers, take off the styius cover
before making adjustments.
(1) Set the anti-skating knob to “O". The stylus
force scale rotates three turns. Rotate the
stylus force scale in the reverse direction of
the arrow in Fig. 16 and set it to the last
alignable “0”.
(2} Choose the appropriate baiance weight ring
for the weight of the cartridge to be used {refer
to Chart 2} and install it according to the
procedures explained previously. With the
lifter arm lowered, remove the arm from the
arm rest. Next, slide the balance weight ring
back and forth precisely locating the position
that neutrally balances the arm horizontally.
(if the shell side tips dawn, shift the weight
ring to the rear; if the shell side tips up, shift
the weight ring forward.) (Fig. 15)
P Note: The arm may move to the left or right
. * when the horizontal balance is adjusted.
This is caused by the high-sensitivity
bearings in the arm base and is not a
malfunction.
(3} Rotate the stylus force scale knob in the
direction of the arrow in Fig. 16, setting the
reference fine on the arm to the level corre-
sponding to the optimum stylus force of the
cartridge. One full rotation of the stylus force
scale is equal to 1g. Its limit is three rotations
or 3g of stylus force. For example, to set the
stylus force to 2.59, rotate the stylus force
scale twice and one-half tum move to bring
0.5 to the reference line.
® Anti-skating adjustment
Rotate the ANTI-SKATING knob to the same
setting es the cartridge stylus force by aligning your
setting with the reference fine. Fig. 17 shows the anti-
skating position when the stylus force is 1.59.

® Q-damping adjustment (Dynamic Servo Tracer)
Rotate the O-DAMPING knob to the same setting as
the cartridge stylus force by aligning your setting
with the reference fine.
* Although the optimum Q-<damping value differs
according to cartridge compliance, this turntable
is designed so that the recommended optimum
damping can be obtained by setting the knob to
the same setting as the stylus force. However, if
critical listening or specific cartridges require
different Q-damping settings, this control is fully
adjustable.
