Great-Sounding Vinyl Playback Made Fun and Easy: Denon DP-400 Turntable Features Automatic Tonearm Lift and Platter Stop, Built-In Phono Preamplifier, Plus Cartridge

Keep vinyl playback simple – and sweet-sounding – with the Denon DP-400 automatic turntable. Featuring automatic lift and playback stop, the compact albeit powerful rig does all the work for you and lets you focus on what really matters: the music. Once you reach the last grooves of an LP, DP-400's curved, horizontal-tracking angled tonearm lifts up and stops the weighted platter. No more having to race to get up from your seat to prevent any potential damage or endless rotation. Even better, DP-400 comes complete with an MM phono cartridge and a built-in, switchable phono preamplifier. So, yes, it's practically ready to go out of the box.

Offering enormous value and entry-level audiophile-grade sonics, DP-400 arrives built for accuracy, detail, clarity – not to mention ease of use for both analog novices and veterans. You can connect it to any integrated amplifier or even micro-components that lack a dedicated phono input, vastly expanding your set-up options. An integrated auto sensor that controls the platter and prevents unwanted speed fluctuations, 33/45/78RPM ability, and a strong, durable base add to the appeal. It also helps that Denon has been leading cartridge manufacturer for decades. And if you desire to change out the supplied model, DP-400 accommodates MC types. The choice is yours.

Further afforded sleek, modern aesthetics and vibration-resistant durability, DP-400 even touts an innovative, removable dust cover that serves two purposes: protection and a display stand for your album jackets. All you need to do is place it upright on the included base and you're showing off your "now playing" selection to everyone in the room. Too cool!

Available in black or white, DP-400 is the result of more than 100 years of audio engineering experience. Backed by our 100% Music Direct Guarantee, it makes listening to vinyl fun and hassle-free.

"[When] you look at the DP-400 and delve into the technical nuances, you gradually begin to understand that this model, despite its simplicity, is ... the result of rethinking the whole concept of low-budget players.... The main thing is this: Every detail is made with such high quality, and all the mechanics work so smoothly and precisely, that the 'four hundred' is perceived as an expensive thing made using the latest technologies."
