Two independent CD drives
The DCM-5000 is equipped with two CD drives for greater operating flexibility:
(1) While a CD is being played in one drive, another CD can be loaded in the
other drive and held in standby mode. This permits a seamless transition
from one musical selection to the next (in Single-Zone mode).
(2) Simultaneous playback from both drives is also possible (in Multi-Zone
mode), since the DCM-5000 is equipped with two sets of audio outputs.
High durability and long life drive mechanisms
Stores up to 100 CDs
Up to 100 CDs can be stored in the disc rack, providing a large library of
CDs from which selections can be made at any time.
Daisy-chain connection of up to 5 DCM-5001 units
Up to five DCM-5001 units can be controlled via a DCM-5000 for a total sys-
tem capacity of 600 CDs. RS-232C/422-A serial port interface provides for
external computer control via third party systems such as Escient Tune-Base.
Two pairs of analog outputs (L/R)
Analog output is available through two pairs of RCA output jacks, enabling
the following playback modes:
(1) Single-Zone mode
Signal output alternating from both drives
(2) Multi-Zone mode
Separate output for each CD drive
AL24 Processing (DCM-5000)
The DCM-5000 features 24 bit Alpha processing, which is the world's first
technical formula for reproducing an analog waveform from the reproduc-
tion of 16-bit data in 24-bit quality.
HDCD decoder (DCM-5000)
The DCM-5000 is also equipped with HDCD decoding. Utilizing
sophisticated encoding techniques, HDCD CDs provide increased
dynamic range and superior sound, compared to conventional
CDs. For maximum fidelity, the HDCD decoding is further
enhanced via the DCM-5000’s 24 bit Burr-Brown PCM-1704 D/A
converters. A front panel light indicates HDCD decoding operation.
100 Disc Automatic CD Changer
DCM-5000/5001
The DCM-5000 is a 100-disc CD Changer with two CD drives. CDs can be selected and played using the front panel controls, the infrared remote
control, or via the RS-232C/RS-422A serial port using third party software. The DCM-5000 can be used as a standalone 100-disc CD Changer, or as
the master control unit for a CD Changer System of up to 600 discs when up to five DCM-5001 units are daisy-chained to the DCM-5000. Designed
with flexibility in mind, the DCM-5000 is ideal for use at radio stations, recording studios, and for commercial and residential custom installation.
The DCM-5001 is a 100-disc CD Changer with two CD drives which
has been designed as the slave unit for the DCM-5000. CDs stored in
the DCM-5001 can be selected and played from the DCM-5000 or
via an RS-232C/RS-422A serial port. The DCM-5001 is used to
extend the capacity of DCM-5000-based CD changer systems at loca-
tions such as radio stations, recording studios, as well as for custom
installed commercial and residential systems.
