Denon D-M38SBK Overview

The D-M38 Micro Component System from Denon is an elegant, compact audio system that delivers surprisingly big sound and is ideal for a bedroom, home office or even a college dorm room. The built-in AM/FM tuner allows for 40 presets, and the disc player accommodates CD, CD-R and CD-RW with playback capability for MP3 and WMA files.

The USB port allows for a direct connection of your iPod, so you can bypass the iPod's internal D/A converter and send signals straight to the audiophile-grade D/A converters of the D-M38 for richer, more detailed sound. The unit offers dual power transformers for a solid power supply and features a power output of 30 watts per channel, as well as two auxiliary inputs that let you connect additional components like a DVD player or gaming system.

The D-M38 also offers two 2-way speakers, each with a dual-layer woofer that resists flexing to provide you with deep, accurate bass and a clean midrange without coloration. Soft dome tweeters allow for smooth highs with detail and clarity. The speakers and CD receiver have large terminals to accommodate high-grade speaker wire.

In addition to its sonic prowess, the system has several features for ease of use. The line-dot matrix display makes it easy to set the timer functions, and it also includes a remote control handset with an intuitive button layout for quick finger movement -- buttons are colored according to basic function for seamless operation. All in all the D-M38 is built to provide you with versatile playback capabilities, pristine audio reproduction and easy operation -- from a compact yet sophisticated 2-channel system.

Direct iPod Connection Via USB
Connecting your iPod to the D-M38 is a snap -- simply connect using the USB cable that came with your iPod. The direct play function automatically detects the iPod connection, and starts playback from the last track you listened to. The connection features digital audio signal handling, which routes the digital signal to the D-M38's 24 bit/192 kHz audiophile quality D/A converters for optimum fidelity. The USB port can also be used with portable drives, and is also MP3 and WMA compatible
