Denon DN-HS5500 Tutorial 1

0:00 It's from a company called Denon and it's known as the DN-HS5500

Alright folks, a basic demonstration for you on how to start up and play two tracks from this guy here. It's from a company called Denon and it's known as the DN-HS5500. To turn the unit on, you've got a button at the back of the unit to the left hand side. You need to make sure it's plugged in at the wall and press that button inwards. Give it a few seconds to load up. You'll notice here we've got a blue line on this side. What you need to do To go from this screen to a dual screen, press the green button that says display mode and you'll now have a split screen. This button here is for layers so at the moment we're going to be using this side of the player, this light shining. To go to the other side all we need to do is press the button here and we'll be able to use the other side of the player. For this demonstration I've got this side of the player

1:35 Let's move the crossfade over

On the right hand side of the mixer and that side of the player on the left hand side of the mixer. Using this dial I can scroll through artist, album, title, genre, year, BPM, file name, folder, playlist play. At any time when I get to any folders and I want to go into those folders I just press down. For this demonstration I'm going to start at artist, press down. I'm going to scroll down to this track hard drive, press down, and then I'm going to play a track entitled Deep Inside, press down. If we move out, we can see now that this track is ready to play on this side of the actual mixer. So let's press play. What I'm going to do now is do exactly the same the other side of the player. So let's move the crossfade over.

2:15 Track there, deep inside

Okay, the one side's still playing, so what I'm going to do now is press Layer and now we're on the other side of the actual unit. If you notice as well, the platter isn't moving, that's because we haven't loaded a track on this side. But if I press Layer again, you'll notice the platter's moving, telling me that there's a track playing on that side. Okay, we're back to the same procedure now. Artist, I'm going to click down, I'm going to scroll through to find Hard Drive. Click down. Track there, deep inside. Click down. Zoom out. Ready to play. Go over. The crossfade's up here. Press play. So if we now have a look on the mixer, this is the track we've just brought in and that's what we brought in earlier on. So Layer is the second track we brought in over there.

Click on here, this is the first track we brought in. Now by pressing this, on this side I'm now in control of the first track I brought in. By pressing that, I'm now in control of the second track I brought in. Hope this is a help, practice and enjoy.
