The Denon DTR-2000 was the only full-size DAT recorder manufactured by Denon.

Denon also manafactured two portable DAT recorders, the DTR-80P and the DTR-100P

The DTR-2000 was considered by many to be one of the very-best sounding machines in its day.

The transport used was the same as in the Panasonic professional models SV-3700, SV-3800 etc.

Available in black or gold.

Real 20-bit A.S.L.C. (Super Linear Converter)
The use of DENON's unique system for preventing zero cross distortion, the main factor in loss of sound quality in the PCM playback section, plus real 20-bit D/A converters with superior resolution, offers reproduction of the original sound field with rich musical expression.

Various Subcode Functions
The DTR-2000 offers a variety of functions using subcodes, a major feature of the DAT. These include high speed direct search, skip search for finding programs (selections) in either direction, after-recording of start ID and skip ID which come in handy when editing tapes, a fine cue function, a renumbering function, end search for convenience when recording, and display of the remaining time on the tape.

Digital Fade-in and Fade-out Function
With the DTR-2000, the sound can be faded at the digital stage without affecting the quality. Fading in and out is possible even when the input source is analog.

DAT Mechanism for High-speed Fast-forwarding and Rewinding
The tape can be fast-forwarded and rewound at about 400 times the normal speed, cutting the time required for rewinding the tape in about half as compared to conventional digital audio tape decks.
