Features of the CHR-F103

¢Recording of your CD library onto the hard disk

Recording of up to 900 CD tracks in linear PCM format offering the

same quality as CDs*1 or up to about 10,000 tracks in high quality

compression WMA (Windows Media Audio)*2 format onto the

CHR-F103’s hard disk.

*1: Calculated based on 4 minutes per track

*2: In the standard mode

¢Automatic display of titles using the Gracenote®

database

The CHR-F103 includes a database of the titles of some 350,000

CDs*3, so when the tracks from a CD are recorded on to the hard

disk, the CD’s album name, track names and artist names are also

recorded and displayed automatically. An Internet environment can

be used to acquire and display the track data for new releases and

CDs not included in the built-in database over the Internet from the

Gracenote®server.

*3: Information for some 350,000 titles is included from the Gracenote®

database as of April 2006.

¢Easy searching thanks to various search menus

In addition to the “genre”, “artist”, “album” and “track” search

menus, it is also possible to create up to 20 original playlists or use

two automatically generated playlists (of recently recorded tracks

and recently played tracks) to easily search for the desired track

among the many tracks recorded on the hard disk.

¢Monitoring of the tracks being recorded

When recording from a CD onto the hard disk, it is possible to

monitor the tracks being recorded or to play tracks previous

recorded on the hard disk.

¢Editing of files from a computer using Denon

Music Manager

“Denon Music Manager”, an exclusive application, can be used to

edit the titles of track lists or to edit playlists. It can also be used

to import music files from a computer onto the CHR-F103 or

backup the tracks from the hard disk onto a computer.

NOTE:

•This CD/HDD music system uses a semiconductor laser. To

ensure stable operation, it is recommended to use the set

indoors at a temperature of 5°C (41°F) ~ 35°C (95°F).

Before using

Pay attention to the following before using this unit:

•Moving the unit.

First eject the disc and turn off the power, wait 3 minutes after

turning off the power, then unplug the power cord from the power

outlet.

Disconnect the connection cables between the different

components before doing this.

•Cautions on using mobile phones.

Using a mobile phone near this unit may result in noise. If so, move

the mobile phone away from this unit when it is in use.

•Condensation (dew).

Water droplets may condense on internal operation parts if the set

is brought into a heated room from the cold outdoors or when the

room is heated rapidly. If this happens, the set may not operate

properly.

•Should condensation occur.

The condensation will evaporate in one hour or less, at which time

the system will function normally.

•Before turning the power operation switch on.

Check once again that all connections are correct and that there are

not problems with the connection cables. Always set the power

operation switch to the standby position before connecting and

disconnecting connection cables.

•Sufficiently ventilate the place of installation.

If the unit is left in a room full of the smoke from cigarettes, etc., for

long periods of time, the surface of the optical pickup could get dirty,

in which case it will not be able to read the signals properly.

•Store the operating instructions in a safe place.

After reading the operating instructions, store them in a safe place

as they could come in handy in the future.

•Power is supplied to some of the circuitry even when the power

is set to the standby mode using the power operation switch.

When traveling or leaving home for long periods of time, be

sure to unplug the power supply cord from the power outlet.

•Note that the illustrations in these instructions may differ from

the actual unit for explanation purposes.

Cautions on handling the hard disk (also referred

to as hard disk drive or “HDD”)

The HDD is a recording medium with many fragile elements. Be

careful of the following when handling it.

¢Cautions on the installation environment

•Do not obstruct the cooling fan’s ventilation holes on the rear

panel.

•Set on a flat surface that is not subject to vibrations or shocks.

•Do not place on receivers (amplifiers) or other components that

get hot during operation.

•Place in a room that does not fill with smoke. (Cigarette smoke,

the smoke from the food smoking process, insecticides and the

like can damage the HDD.)

¢Cautions during operation

To avoid partial damage to the HDD’s recording surface or

malfunction of the HDD, heed the following during operation:

•Do not subject to vibrations or shocks.

•Do not unplug the power cord. (Note that the sound being

recorded or played could be lost if there is a power failure during

operation.)

accessing the Gracenote®server over the Internet.

Gracenote®music recognition service

¢If you do not have the environment for

connecting to the Internet

The CHR-F103 has part of the Gracenote®database stored in it*,

so some title information can be obtained without connecting to

the Internet.

Note, however, that the internal database may not contain title

information for recently released CDs.

*: Information for approximately 350,000 titles selected from the

Gracenote®database in April 2006 is stored in the CHR-F103.

¢vTuner

The CHR-F103’s Internet radio station list uses “vTuner”, a radio

station database service. This database service is edited and

prepared for the CHR-F103.

¢Using the “Gracenote®music recognition

service”

You do not have to perform any operation in particular.

When a CD is inserted or when recording or playback of a CD

begins, the CD’s text information is acquired automatically and

displayed on the CHR-F103.

¢Broadband Internet connection

Internet radio refers to radio programs broadcast over the Internet.

With this function you can listen to Internet radio broadcasts from all

over the world.

•Stations can be selected by genre or region.

•Up to 60 stations can be preset.

•MP3 format Internet radio programs can be played.

•Depending on the server, video files may also be displayed, but they

cannot be played on the CHR-F103.

NOTE:

•You must have a contract with an Internet service provider (ISP)

in order to connect to the Internet.

(If you already have a broadband connection to the Internet, no

new contract is required.)

•For instructions on connecting to the Internet, contact your ISP

or a computer store.

•The types of routers that can be used depend on the ISP.

For details, contact your ISP or a store selling computers and

related equipment.

NOTE:

•Sophisticated knowledge of networks is required to make router

security settings.

Make the security settings at your own discretion. DENON will

accept no responsibility for any problems arising due to security

settings. Furthermore, DENON will not respond to inquiries on

the settings and operation of the various devices.

¢Router settings

•We recommend enabling the router’s DHCP server function

(setting for automatically assigning IP addresses). Normally

it is enabled, so there is no need to change it.

•Depending on the security settings of the router, etc., it may not

be possible for the CHR-F103 to connect to the Internet.

•Also refer to the router’s operating instructions.

¢CHR-F103 settings

•If the router’s DHCP server function is enabled, the CHR-F103

can be used as is with the settings already made upon

purchase.

•Depending on the router’s settings, it may be necessary to

change the CHR-F103’s settings ( page 16) (to assign a fixed

IP address and connect to the network, etc.).

¢Others

•When the contract with your provider is of the type by which the

network settings are made manually, you must make the

“Network-related settings”.

•The CHR-F103 is not compatible with PPPoE. If your contract is

of the PPPoE setting type, you need a PPPoE-compatible router.

•For some ISPs (Internet Service Providers), you may have to

make proxy server settings in order to use the Internet radio

function. If proxy server settings for connecting to the Internet

have been made on the computer, make the same settings on

the CHR-F103.

•The CHR-F103 is designed to make the network settings

automatically using the DHCP and Auto IP functions.

Network-related settings

NOTE:

•Be sure to use a shielded type cable for USB/Ethernet

connections.

Depending on the connected computer/router, there may be

much noise generated from the cable.

streamed music or sound with a high bit rate can easily be

fragmentary. Inversely, a lower bit rate means lower sound quality,
