MAIN FEATURES
Congratulations on your new purchase of the DN-
D6000. The DN-D6000 rack mount double CD/MP3
player is equipped with a variety of advanced features,
functions and rich performance for unlimited
creativeness and showmanship.
Features and Functions
With the implementation of a powerful DSP and large
memory capacity allows for many new controlling
features such as:
1. SCRATCH
The jog dial construction consists of clear scratch
disc, felt slipmat and slip sheet to ensure the
same feeling and performance as found in an
analog turntable.
Furthermore, the Main Track and Sampler can be
selected as the Scratch sound source.
2. MP3 PLAY BACK
It is possible to play MP3 files created in the
specified format found on page 18.
Files can be searched for easily either manually, or
by scanning or using a number of file search
functions (File search, File/Folder search, Artist
name search, Title name search, File name
search).
3. NEXT TRACK RESERVE
The next track can be selected while continuing to
play the current track for a seamless transition.
4. Cross Fade
In conjunction with the Next Track feature, the
DN-D6000 can perform a smooth internal cross
fade when transitioning to the new track.
5. HOT START and STUTTER
The Hot Start function lets you start playback
immediately from a set point decided by you. Up
to two points can be set using the A1 and A2
buttons. The loaded Hot Starts can also be used
to “Stutter” those same points. When in Stutter
mode, momentary audio is triggered according to
the length of time of which these buttons are
held down and released.
6. SEAMLESS LOOP
With this function, any section on a disc can be
played repeatedly between A & B points with no
break in sound or limit in length. The DN-D6000
has a variety of looping options such as Exit.
Reloop and dual looping.
7. SAMPLER
On-board digital Sampler can record up to 15
seconds CD quality sound at 44.1kHz sampling
frequency. You can seamlessly loop this sample
or play it backwards (REVERSE). The pitch and
output level of a sample can be adjusted
independently.
The B point can be easily set or changed exactly
the same way as you would use with the A-B
Seamless Loop function.
8. B TRIM
The B points for the Seamless Loop and the
Sampler can easily be adjusted using the Scratch
Disc. Adjustments can be made in real-time while
playing the live loop.
9. AUTO BPM COUNTER, BPM LOCK, MANUAL
TAP, and MANUAL BPM INPUT
In addition to the Auto BPM counter and Manual
Tap function, the DN-D6000 is also equipped with
a Lock function for temporarily locking the Auto
BPM counter. A Manual BPM Input function is
available too for inputting the known BPM value
directly by a Rotary knob, so the BPM setting can
be made easily.
10. ON BOARD EFFECT’S
Six types of effectors are included.
ECHO/LOOP:The ECHO and LOOP functions
can be selected. Looping for the
feedback time (ECHO LOOP) is
possible by setting the feedback
number to “MAX”.
FLANGER:The feedback time and feedback
gain can be selected.
FILTER: One of three filters (LOW PASS, MID
PASS and HIGH PASS) can be
selected and Individually adjusted.
11. PLATTER MODE
Analog turntable-like playback can be simulated
using three Platter effects.
DRAG START: Simulates the dragging sound
of a turntable’s slow starting up from
a stop mode. (Start-up time can be
adjusted.)
BRAKE: Simulates a winding-down sound of a
turntable coming to a full stop slowly.
(Slowing-down time can be
adjusted.)
RVS: (Reverse) Plays the sound backwards
until you return to normal play.
12. MEMO
Various settings such as Cue Point, Hot Start, A-
B Loop, Pitch and Key Adjust can be saved to the
internal non-volatile memory for later recall. Up to
1000 points are available.
13. PITCH/KEY ADJUST
PITCH: Playback speed is adjusted with
PITCH slider. Adjustable pitch ranges
are +/- 4, 10, 16, 24, 50, 100%
(selectable live).
KEY ADJUST: Keeps the original key even if
the pitch playing speed is changed
with the PITCH slider.
14. DIGITAL OUT
The digital output for Main provides a true 100%
digital signal without any restrictions or
limitations regardless of pitch change or mode
setting.
15. FADER START
The DN-D6000 FADER START controls are
compatible with our DN-X400, DN-X800 or DN-
X1500 mixers.
16. SHOCKPROOF MEMORY
25 seconds of shock-proof memory guards
against audible interruptions due to external
mechanical shocks such as bumps or other hard
vibrations, which is especially helpful for the
mobile DJ as well as for nightclub-installed
applications.
17. PRESETS
It is possible to customise the machine to your
preference by saving your favourite setting to
internal memory. For items found in the presets,
please see page 21.

mode starts when the power is turned on.
