Citation : C'est pas vraiment ce que j'apelle du Tuning, perso. Techniquement c'en est, mais le tuning consiste a rendre un objet particulierement visible. Alors que là, c'est juste par souci de faire "moins moche"...

So you want to customize your Denon DNS-5000? Read on to learn how.

The first step is to open your favorite image editing program and start a new project with a size of 974x974 Pixels and a resolution of 120 DPI.
Now go ahead and make any design you would like don't forget that there is going to be a black circle (the stabilizer disc) around the center, so make room for it, you don't have to if you don't want to.
Hopefully you have made your design and printed it out by now.

The next step is to disassemble you platter to get you new slipmat on.
When you bought you new player it should have included a Hex Wrench (small black "L" looking thing)
Now you're going to take you Hex Wrench and unscrew the Hex Socket Head (screw) from the middle of your Stabilizer Disc (that's the little black thing in the middle of your platter with white lines on it).
Now your going to pull off the stabilizer disc, make sure you keep track of your screw and washer, the screw is very small and VERY easy to loose.

Now that the stabilizer is off the next thing is the clear scratch disc.
All you have to do is pull up on this disc.
While we have the scratch disc off this will be a good time to check for the tape trick. If you want more info on the tape trick check out Tricks & Tips section on this site.
So the stabilizer is off, you know where your screw is and you have the clear scratch disc off.

Next your going to get that nice new slipmat you just printed out and make sure it is the right size, if its too big lay your scratch disc down on your slipmat and cut to size.
Don't forget to make a small hole in the middle of your slipmat so it will fit around the hole that the screw goes into.
Now place your slipmat on the platter (don't take off anything else, leave the felt slipmat on and the slipsheets). <rb> Next place the scratch disc back on, make sure the grooves on the scratch disc are facing up away from the player.
Now the last step is to place the black stabilizer back on. Place it over the clear scratch disc, then screw your screw back in the hole with the provided Hex Wrench. That's it your done customizing you new Denon DNS-5000.
