passes its own internal power supply to achieve the highest electrical specifications, resulting in best
possible audio performance. The DN-S3700 features industry leading Burr Brown (a product of TI)
24 bit DAC processing for superior output audio fidelity. USB Audio interface includes 2-Channel
Stereo output pair, 44.1kHz sampling range and low latency ASIO / OSX Core Audio support.

5 Superb Built-in DSP Effects

Building the mood, adding energy and remixing live for your thumping dance floor has never been so
easy with our crystal clear on-board DSP effects. Easily activate and have full parameter adjustments
with a unique Dry/Wet mix control of the BPM sync’d effects: Flanger, Filter-(High-Mid-Low), Echo,
and our exclusive Echo Loop.

Waveform Display w/ Multi-line Text & Icon Support

Another unique quality of the DN-S3700 is its informative & animated FL tube display mounted elegantly at a proper angle for best visualization. The “Waveform” function is a representation of the audio signal pattern, which indicates various energy peaks within the music file. Additionally, a world’s first “Break-point” area can be pre-determined and viewed on the S3700 display. Both the waveform and breakpoint data can be set when using external USB devices by using our included Denon DJ Music Manager PC application. A visual 32-position Marker Point indicator follows your hand movements at lighting speeds without drift. Other indicators include Looping, Hot Starts, BPM info, Elapsed/Remain Time, MP3/WAV file types, and other useable indicators. Denon’s proprietary 12-pole Direct Drive brushless motor design is keeping the art of the 110-year old turntable alive & true to its native feel, delivering instant full rotation speed with a powerful 2.5 kg/cm of start-up torque within 0.5 seconds for true turntable reaction and response. DJs can perform freely on this 9” platter design mounted with a real vinyl record as if they were using a genuine analog turntable. Platter rotation can be changed from 33 to 45 R.P.M. for comfort.

Hot Starts

Up to 3 Hot Starts can be made on the fly during the Hot Start mode. Each Hot Start can be easily replaced with new Hot Start points by using the individual clear buttons found right above the Hot Start keys. This allows for creative remixing with the least amount of steps. Hot Start MEMO data can be stored to internal memory for CD’s or directly to the file when using external USB devices. Visual icons are used for each Hot Start point within the display area.

Auto Loop

The Auto Loop function is a BPM assisted looping system, which allows the DJ to create up to 3 independent seamless loops instantly with the option to EXIT the loop or clear the loop at any point. Additionally, the Auto Loop can be trimmed on the fly by frame accurate resolution using the +/- Loop Trim buttons. The Denon DJ Music Manager application includes a very accurate BPM engine which calculates and writes the BPM directly to the file on external USB devices. This allows the DN-S3700 to load perfectly locked BPM values leading to super accurate Auto Beat Loops.

Manual Loop

Besides the Auto Loop function, you are still able to create your own manual loops on the other side of the player by setting the "A"(in) and "B"(out) points freely, with the option to EXIT and Reloop. To smooth out your loop, the A or B point can be easily adjusted on-the-fly to perfection. The "A" point can also be used alone as a Hot Start or Stutter point.

3 Platter Effects

- Brake (adjustable in real-time)
- Dump (reverse sound without losing true forward time, like a radio edit)
- Reverse (plays your music backwards and platter spins backwards too)

Memo function

Hot Starts, Auto Loops, Seamless Loop, Cue point, BPM, Pitch Setting & Range,
Pitch ON/OFF, and Key Adj ON/OFF data can be stored to internal memory for CD’s/
CD-ROM media or directly to the file when using external USB devices.

Playlist

The powerful Playlist function allows you to search and select 3 different types of playlist categories when using external USB devices. Top 40, Favorite, & your own custom Playlist can be created by using the included Denon DJ Music Manager PC application.

Platter Mode Functions

- Classic Vinyl (spinning)
- Pitch Bend
- Frame Search

Directional Scratch Lever

This original Denon feature allows the DJs to manipulate the platter’s motion of output sound in two ways, the traditional vinyl cueing sound, called “BOTH” and the ingenious Forward stroke sound to perform the same cuts as if you were using a mixer’s crossfader.

D-Link

Two DN-S3700 players can be linked together by a RJ45 (CAT5, 5e) cross-cover cable for D-LINK operation. This EASY operation enables the DJ to share CD MEMO's between both decks, Relay Play operation and the convenience of using a single PS/2 keyboard for quick file navigation when using external USB devices.

Conclusion

You need the reliability and flexibility of the digital DJ world. You need a deck that feels as good as it sounds. You need powerful effects and functions. You need the DN-S3700. Class dismissed.
