13. Power-Cord Protection Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the product. 15. Outdoor Antenna Grounding If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the product, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode. See Figure A. 16. Lightning For added protection for this product during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning and power-line surges. 17. Power Lines An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal. 18. Overloading Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock. 19. Object and Liquid Entry Never push objects of any kind into this product through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the product. 20. Servicing Do not attempt to service this product yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. 21. Damage Requiring Service Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions: a) When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged, b) If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the product, c) If the product has been exposed to rain or water, d) If the product does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions as an improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the product to its normal operation, e) If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way, and f) When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance this indicates a need for service. 22. Replacement Parts When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards. 23. Safety Check Upon completion of any service or repairs to this product, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine that the product is in proper operating condition. 24. Wall or Ceiling Mounting The product should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer. 25. Heat The product should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

AM/FM Stereo Receiver

DRA-37
Superior Sound with XM Ready, iPod Command and Control, Video Select and Room-to Room Flexibility
The DRA-37 AM/FM receiver offers high-performance operation, functionality and affordability, all in a single unit. It includes a Video Select feature that lets you control a variety of video and audio signals, a set PRE OUT jacks that lets you listen to music in a sub-room as well as the main room, and it supports room-to-room remote control. Denon is well known for its uncompromising approach to sound quality and the DRA-37 is no exception thanks to the meticulous Denon-developed circuitry and the Signal Level Divided Construction (SLDC) chassis that prevents mutual interference among the circuits.
s High-quality Power Amplifier With 50 watts of power per channel (at 8 ohms, 20 Hz - 20 kHz, 0.08% THD), the DRA-37 delivers solid, reliable audio performance even when driving both A and B speaker systems at the same time. s Signal Level Divided Construction Chassis Design The circuit handling low-level signals has been divided into separate blocks to ensure that influences from these signals on each other are held to an absolute minimum. This new chassis design, known as the Signal Level Divided Construction (SLDC), preserves the purity of the signal, allowing it to be reproduced with much greater fidelity and clarity. s Pre Out Function The DRA-37 provides a PRE OUT terminal that lets you connect another amp so that you can enjoy the same source in sub-room 1 that you have in the main room. The versatile A-B speaker switching feature lets you listen to music in a second sub-room by simply selecting Speaker System B. The volume from the PRE OUT terminals is linked to the DRA-37s master volume control. s Room-to-Room Remote Control with Remote IN/OUT Terminals s Subwoofer output s Video Terminals Stereo video sources, such as hi-fi VCR, stereo TV, and DVD can all be easily connected to the DRA-37s DVD/VDP, VCR and Video Aux terminals. s Video Select Functin Allows you to select a video source, and then select an alternate audio input source, ideal for simulcasting, as well as watching TV sports programs while listening to radio commentary. s 56-Station AM/FM Random PresetMemory Tuning s Auto Preset Memory FM stations can be searched by the tuner, and automatically stored in the preset memory up to 56 stations, ideal for locales with many FM stations.
s Sophisticated Tuning Circuit Design Thanks to the PLL circuit design, reception drift is a thing of the past. The DRA-37 also has a 4-pole varactor diode in its front end to guarantee accurate input of stationfrequencies. s ASD-1R Control Dock for iPod (option): Supports iPod playback when connected to the DRA-37 iPod (*1) playback can be enjoyed through the DRA-37 when the ASD-1R, Denon's original Control Dock for iPod (sold separately), is connected to the dedicated control terminal of the DRA-37. The iPod can also be controlled via the remote controller supplied with the DRA-37.
*1) Supports 3rd-generation and later iPods equipped with a Dock connector. Some functions may not work depending on the generation of the iPod and the version of the software.
Black version is also available.
