Denon DP-29F Analog Turntable Feature

• Belt-driven, fully automatic analog turntable with RIAA-equalized phono preamplifier
• Plugs into any receiver's analog line-level input (ideal for receivers without phono inputs)
• Rigid die-cast aluminum construction ensures stable rotation for high-fidelity sound

Amazon.com Product Description Whether you have crates of old vinyl or you're a collector of the modern pressings of independent labels, now is the time to put your records back into your listening rotation. The Denon DP-29F Analog Turntable includes a built-in RIAA phono equalizer that makes it a breeze to connect to your home entertainment system via a standard analog connection.

Bring back your vinyl collection with Denon's DP-29F turntable. Take a closer look at the controls.

The DP-29F has been precision made with rigid die-cast aluminum to provide uniform inertial mass for perfectly stable turntable rotation, an essential component of high-fidelity sound during playback. Without stable rotation, your records just won't sound as good as they should. The turntable also employs an automated system that starts playing the record with a single touch of a button, and it finishes playing at the end of the record by returning the tone arm to its original position and stopping the rotation. This system ensures that you do not inadvertently scratch your records when you play them. However, you can still manually lift the tone arm and place the needle on the record where you want, so you can easily skip to your favorite song in the middle of a side.

The DP-29F includes a built-in phono equalizer to connect the unit to an integrated amp that does not have its own equalizer. This turntable is powered by a DC servo motor and belt-drive system and can be operated at either 33 1/3 or 45 rpm speed. Last, but not least, the DP-29F comes with an MM cartridge so that you can begin to enjoy your record collection as soon as you connect the DP-29F to your home hi-fi system.

What's in the Box
Turntable, turntable platter, rubber platter mat, dust cover, user's manual, and warranty/registration information. The Denon DP-29F Fully Automatic Analog Turntable features an automatic system that starts the music at the simple touch of a button, and when the music stops, the tone arm automatically returns to its original position and the turntable stops rotating. The Denon DP-29F Fully Automatic Analog Turntable also includes a PHONO (MM) equalizer, enabling you to connect the turntable directly to an integrated amp that does not have a PHONO equalizer.
