Denon DN-S5000 Staff Review
The Denon DN-S5000 CD Turntable has some very impressive features distinguish it from other cd turntables. For example, the Platter not only enables real time scratching, but is motorized and spins at 45 RPM. By placing a record-like plastic disc on top (included), it gives the illusion of actually using a turntable and record, which is sure to please die-hard vinyl fans. Another great feature of the Denon DN-S5000 CD Turntable is the ability to play two songs from the same CD! This means you can mix with only one DN-S5000, sending one song to each of the two included outputs! In addition to this, you also get the Hot Disc function which allows you to keep playing a song for 35 seconds after you eject the disk. This will leave you time to cue up the next track. The DN-S5000 is also features MP3 playback with a free downloadable upgrade on Denon's website. Lastly, the S5000 has 2 samplers (about 15 seconds recording time each), key correction, +/-4 to +/-100% pitch control, and a memory that can store seamless loop info, cue points and pitch preference for over 5000 tracks.

Denon DN-S5000 Information & Features
The hot Denon DN-S5000 offers a number "firsts" in the world of the digital DJ. Check out the "motor driven active platter" that provides the ultimate feel for true vinyl emulation. With the unique "Alpha Track" feature you can access different tracks from the same CD simultaneously. You can even "mix" the tracks. And get this, with the "Hot Disc" mode, you can eject a disc and it will still play for another 35 seconds, while you cue up your new disc. The DN-S5000 will let you control many aspects of your performance as if you had two decks playing, when in fact, you're only running the one. Combine two DN-S5000s and now you have a true digital powerhouse! Using the DN-X800 (connected through the built-in X-Effect Ports) you can connect two DN-S5000 and gain additional fader control, exchange Memo data and control various play modes of the two decks. An array of digital and analog inputs/outputs, as well as numerous dedicated controls make this a super hot ticket! Add one or two to your system and see why Denon is an industry leader.
