Single CD/MP3 Player

DESCRIPTION
The Denon DN-C615 is a professional CD player housed in a single 2RU rack-mount chassis. It is the successor to the popular DN-600F and includes many new feature enhancements for professional applications such as CD-RW playback, shock memory, instant start and CD text support. Auto Cue to music insures there are no blank spots at the beginning of the track to be played. A user adjustable menu has also been added so the unit can be custom tailored to a particular application. Designed for use in a wide range of applications such as schools, restaurants, aerobic studios and backup systems, the DN-C615 provides solid performance when quality sound is required. For background music applications the DN-C615 supports MP3 decoding for hours of music playback. This CD player's functions include a variable pitch of 12% of playback speed and a Single/Continuous Playback mode. Direct track access is provided through the 11-key keypad. A digital SPDIF port is located on the back panel for connecting to digital systems along with sync and cascade connectors for use with multiple DN-C615 units. Digital servo adjustment has been automated so that the optimum setting is always obtained for the type of CD being played, compensating for any changes occurring in the pickup over years of use.

7 PLAYING MP3 FILES

There are many sites on the Internet from which you can download music files in MP3 format. These files can be downloaded following the instructions on the site and stored on CD-R/RW discs which can then be played on the DN-C615. The music on commercially available music CDs can be converted into MP3 files on a computer using MP3 encoding programs. When this is done, the data is reduced to approximately 1/10 the original size. This MP3 data can then be stored on a CD-R/RW disc, allowing you to create a single 12 cm CD-R/RW disc containing about 10 times more music than a normal music CD, that is some 100 tracks or more (*). * This is an approximately value for MP3 files of tracks about 5 minutes long converted at a standard bit rate (128 kbps) and stored on a CD-R/RW disc with a capacity of 650 MB. Recordings you make are for your personal use and should not be used in ways infringing upon the copyright holder as per copyright laws. NOTES : The DN-C615 is compatible with MPEG-1 Audio Layer-3, MPEG-2 Audio Layer-3 and MPEG2.5 Audio Layer-3. It is not compatible with MP1 or MP2 standards. SAMPLING FREQUENCY MPEG 1.0 MPEG 2.0 MPEG 2.kHz 24 kHz 12 kHz 44.10 kHz 22.05 kHz 11.03 kHz 32 kHz 16 kHz 08 kHz
(1) Playing folders or files
1. Load a disc containing MP3 files. Example When the number of folders is 120 and the number of files is 512
(2) Programmed playback of folders or files
Use this function to select certain tracks from the disc and program them to play in a certain order. A maximum of 99 files and folders can be programmed. (Programs can included both files and folders.) 2 Programming
When writing MP3 files on a CD-R/RW disc, set the writing programs format to ISO9660 level 1 or ISO9660 level 2, Joliet or Romeo. MP3 files written in other formats may not play properly. With some writing programs it is not possible to record in ISO9660 format. Use an ISO9660 format writing program. Generally speaking, the higher the MP3 files bit rate, the better the sound quality. With the DNC615 it is recommended to use MP3 files written with a bit rate of 128 kbps or greater. The writing program may change the positions of the folders and files when writing the MP3 files on the CD-R/RW disc, so the files may not be played in the expected order. Make sure to give MP3 files the extension.MP3. Files with extensions other than.MP3 or without extensions cannot be played. (On Macintosh computers, MP3 files can be played by adding the extension.MP3 after the file name consisting of a maximum of 8 Roman capital letters and / or numerals when recording them on CD-R/RW discs.) To protect copyrights, no digital signals are output when playing MP3 files.
A maximum of 255 folders can be played on the DN-C615. Folders over 8 layers down, however, cannot be played. The maximum number of files is also 999. If there are 1,000 files, only the first 999 are played. (Files other than those with the extension.MP3 are not counted.) On the DN-C615, folder and file names can be displayed like titles. Roman capital letters and/or numerals and __ (underscores) are scrolled. (However, a maximum of 31 characters can be displayed.) In addition, folder and file names using other symbols will not be displayed properly. The DN-C615 is compatible with ID3-tag (Ver. 1.*, Ver. 2.0). It may not be possible to play some CD-R/RW discs due to dirt, scratches or the discs properties. Do not apply seals or tape to the label or signal side of CDs or CD-R/RW discs. The glue could get on the disc surface, making the disc get stuck inside the set. The DN-C615 is multi-session compatible. Only music CDs can be played if the first session is a music CD, and only MP3 files can be played if the first session consists of MP3 files. The DN-C615 is compatible with play lists. (.m3u of WINAMP Form) (Preset functions) NOTES: With some writing programs it may not play properly. In this case, please set to PLst=OFF. Play List may require time for reading. The maximum number of play lists is also 255. If there are over 255 play lists, only the first 255 are performed.
