The spinning active platter design taken to a whole new level.
The DN-S3500 tabletop CD/MP3 player lets you perform freely as if you were using a real vinyl turntable thanks to its powerful 12-pole direct-drive brushless motor that delivers instant full rotation speed with a powerful 2.5kg/cm of startup torque within 0.5 seconds. Also, it comes with a spindle to tweak the pitch. Platter speeds are selectable from 33.3 or 45rpm.
This player is loaded with 7 onboard effects, including flanger, filter (high-mid-low), echo, and the world's first echo/loop with a dry/wet mix knob, plus 3 platter effects: brake (adjustable in real time), dump (reverse sound without losing true forward time), and reverse (platter spins backwards).
Also features full MP3 support with seamless looping with B point trim; MP3 hot starts; frame search; memo to save your cue points and loops; support for C.B.R. and V.B.R. decoding up to 320kbps; ID3 tags to display title, artist, and album; ID3 BPM tag (automatically recalls the BPM); and an MP3 file search system that allows you to easily locate files by name or folder.
Now you can play files from the same disc back to back with the DN-S3500's next track reserve function with crossfade. You can search for a song by name without interrupting playback and crossfade seamlessly to that file for a smooth, nonstop mix. This player also lets you easily copy your perfect CD/MP3 seamless loop over to the sampler, even while it's playing. Get creative by exchanging your disc during sample playback, performing CD scratch overlays with the sampler, and many more cool tricks.
The DN-S3500 features a 2-way cue search system that supports traditional Denon cueing method as well as Pioneer's for whatever style you prefer. For DJs who perform long mixes, the DN-S3500 offers .02% for the 4% pitch range and .05% for the 10% pitch range. 2 hot starts can be made on the fly and easily turned into seamless loops or used as stutter points.
This advanced player also features adjustable loop end point B trim, CD TEXT support, key adjust to keep music sounding true when track speed is adjusted, quick-loading slot-in drive, 2-way platter mode to scratch the CD source or the stored sample by the touch of a button with the active spinning platter, and a directional scratch lever to perform the same cuts as if you were using a mixer's crossfader. The 15-second sampler lets you sample any part of your CD/MP3 tracks on the fly and perform scratch overlays or even simple playback with full platter control and ±24% pitch control, B-trim, sampler volume, 4-way playback (loop/single/all/stutter)

I have been using these for 3 years and I have never had a single problem. I run them with Traktor Scratch and they are amazing. Take the clip off the platter and use tape or a rubber washer and they will feel as close real vinyl turntables as you can get. No other CD Turntable could offer both an accurate vinyl feel, an array of features, and great quality.

I have been a Denon supporter from some time now. I was skeptical about the 3500 because of the overheating problems I had been reading about. Since I had been using the 3000 and 1000 for about a yr with no problems what so ever so I decided to try out the 3500. When I first got to try out the 3500 the platter was really stiff and I notice that the back of the unit where the power switch is gets hot after a while. I modified the padding in my case to allow the unit to breath, and I have not experienced any over heating issues what so ever. As for the stiffness in the platter, I remove the clip that secures the platter to the motor and I replaced with a rubber washer. After doing this the platter feels really smooth and allows you to manipulate the platter better. I feel that these cd players are by far one of the best out there!

I love denon products. But I was very disappointed with this one. First these units get very hot after a short time. It will start to go crazy on you when in use for a long time and is heating up! The pitch slider will start to stick on you at some point. Product is made with to much plastic. Not built for the long hall. Especially not made for any outdoor use. Good effects & features. Good sound. I should of stuck with denons dual cd players. Such as the DN9000, best player ever made for cd's not for mp3 playing. Bad investment. My advice stick to the less priced poineers. Better quality and built to last. Sorry denon didn't live up to your reputation not with this product.

DENON IS STEPPIN UP

These tables are awesome!!! I've owned them for 2 years taking them with me to gigs at least 3 times a month, more during the summer, and they never gave me problems. I've been using Serato for about a year and with the November update Denon did with Rane, the response is killer and there is hardly any slippage. 2 Denon S3500 + 1 Denon X1500S + Serato = Heaven
