DOCK CONTROL 1
• Advanced S.V.H. (Suppress Vibration Hybrid) Mechanism
To ensure impeccable accuracy in reading audio signals from 
the disc, particular attention has been devoted to the design 
and adjustment of the optical axis and base that supports the 
laser pickup so that they are perfectly aligned. The RCD-CX1 
incorporates a highly-acclaimed S.V.H.(Suppress. Vibration. 
Hybrid.) loader that features a hybrid construction combining 
multiple types of materials to suppress vibration and further 
improve disc reading accuracy.
 The re ned design includes a 
thin disc tray: Try opening and closing it to see how smooth 
and precise the loading mechanism is.
• Enjoy various music media in high-quality sound
The RCD-CX1 provides a dedicated control terminal for the 
separately-available Denon Control Dock for iPod
®
s that lets 
you connect and play music from your iPod. The RCD-CX1’s 
remote control unit lets you perform iPod operations such 
as Play and Skip. Music of various kinds can also be enjoyed 
with the RCD-CX1’s AM/FM tuner.
• Newly-developed, easy-to-use remote control unit
The buttons have been laid out so that the various functions of 
the amp and CD are easy to operate.
• Simple and intuitive operation
- Direct Power On: Power turns on automatically when the CD 
Play button is pressed while power is o .
- Fade Out: If you switch to FM radio or another sound 
source while listening to a CD, the sound from the CD will 
automatically fade before the switch is made.
Speaker System SC-CX101
• 12cm woofer unit with newly-developed glass  ber 
D.D.L. cone
The newly-developed D.D.L. (Denon Double Layer) cone has 
been used for the woofer diaphragm. This diaphragm with 
dual-layer construction ensures accurate piston motion across 
a wide frequency range. Combined with an advanced magnetic 
circuit and an aluminum shorting ring to reduce magnetic 
distortion, this speaker system produces a big, spacious sound that 
is remarkable from such a compact speaker cabinet.
• 2.5cm dome tweeter with specialized frame shape
Denon developed a new frame shape to flatten radiation 
impedance. This also prevents diaphragm deformation caused 
by the thermal expansion of air inside the tweeter. The addition 
of ventilation holes keeps the diaphragm centered and ensures 
constantly ideal piston motion.
• Crossover network, 
  for uniform sound pressure and phase response
The SC-CX101’s network circuitry has been designed not only 
for the unit’s energy and phase characteristics, but cabinet 
reflection and placement conditions in the room have been 
considered as well. In addition to  attening on-axis frequency 
response, the network design has also provides smooth o -axis 
response as well.
• A pleasing harmony between technology 
 and aesthetics
The SC-CX101 has been jointly developed by Denon engineers 
and European sound designers with deep experience in music. 
Elaborate computer simulations were conducted to model 
the basic design as much as possible from the individual 
parts level and achieve a high standard of perfection in basic 
characteristics.
• Unit frame made of non-magnetic die-cast aluminum
Non-magnetic die-cast aluminum has been used for the unit frame 
to give it solid support and prevent diaphragm movement. 
A baking   nish has been given to the surface to minimize squeal.
• Beautiful natural wood-grain veneer cabinet
The SC-CX101’s cabinet, built with 18mm MDF and finished 
with a semi-gloss natural wood-grain veneer, is extremely 
beautiful. Not only is the natural wood finish pleasing to the 
eyes, the surface that transmits the sound waves has been 
carefully controlled to produce a beautifully resonant sound. 
The natural wood  nish has also been applied to the interior to 
control overall resonance.
• Rear duct, for a clear, deep bass
The rear panel has been carefully machined to produce a uniform 
construction with the mouth of the duct. The  nish has also been 
meticulously applied to minimize squeal and port noise.
• Gold-plated brass bi-wiring ports
The SC-CX101 speakers provide large bi-wiring ports with high-
grade transparent insulating covers to expand your audio 
enjoyment.
