Features:
A few notes from the manual: The DN-045R is provided with serial remote control software (ACD-20). When the DN-045R is connected to a personal computer, the following operations are possible in addition to erasing and copying using the controls on the front panel:
Erasing a disc:
Duplicating a disc:
Stopping a duplication:
If the slave disc is write protected then the slave drives “Error” light will go solid red but only after attempting to start an erase or copy. It would seem when you put a write protected disc into the slave drive it may also light up one or two of the “Remaining Time” lights solid also after attempting an erase or copy [Needs verification as may just be an issue with my unit].
The disc insertion mechanism used is the same as with Denon's other pro decks, where the disc must be pushed in and the drive has no auto loading mechanism and similarly as with Denon's other professional decks, the drives themselves are supported on all four sides by springs.
From testing the unit despite being released before the advent of MDLP, will copy MDLP discs correctly (LP2 tested) and an MDLP deck (tested with MDS-JE480) will recognise the duplicated slave disc as MDLP and play back at the correct speed, with track names correctly listed and the correct disc length listed, even if the length of the disc is over the SP length of 60, 74 or 80 minutes (all tested with an LP2 recorded 74-minute disc of length 78m23s).
74-Minute disc to 74-Minute disc of disc length 58m17s recorded in SP mode.
