Never tried them but when I look at Denon CD decks I cant help but thin they look ridiculous

not used the 1000 but i spent a week playing on the 5000 at work the other week. The only thing i like about them is the spinning platter (5000). The layout is confusing and hard to understand (especially in a dark dj booth), you have to press too many buttons and different combinations to turn things on or off, it's just not very user friendy, i know the 1000 has less features (therefore less buttons) but if you're loking for a desktop player at that price id look at the Numark Axis Range (8 & 9). The one thing about Denon however is that all their products are top quality and built to the highest standard with the best components. If you really want Denon then they are good buys but i seriously recommend you check out the Axis range or save up a little longer and shell out for the technics sldz 1200 or the pioneer cdj1000

A mate has a set of these and i've had a fair use of them.

the jog dial isnt that great, i always use the pitch bend buttond instead of the jog. For the scratch mode you have to press the jog dial down (it clicks) so no fancy scratches can be achieved, but basics can be done.

The effects are pretty good you have high/mid/low pass filter (controlled by jog dial) these sound ok but are not smooth. bpm flanger does its job, and can change between (1, 2, 4, 8, 16 and 32 beat). the echo follows the flanger, but if you put the effect to max it turns into a loop. this is the best effect on the unit.

all in all: this is a good starting unit, it has the basic down pretty solid and some funky effects to play with. although if you plan on using data mp3 disc's the features are reduced quiet a bit.




Oh does anyone else think that the flanger effect (in general) is shite?!?! i cant stand them anymore
