High quality sound
• High Current (HC) Single-Push-Pull Circuit to balance musical detail and power
The PMA-510AE incorporates HC transistors with 2to 3 times the electrical current supply capability ofconventional power transistors for audio. Denon’sacclaimed HC Single-Push-Pull Circuit has been inheritedfrom its high-end models which, together with a fullydiscrete amplifier design, produces a powerful sound filledwith beautiful musical details.
• High-speed, high-capacity power supply circuit for HC Single-Push-Pull
The PMA-510AE’s power circuit uses a block capacitorthat Denon engineers have jointly developed with a partsmanufacturer and a Schottky-barrier diode that featureslow internal resistance for low loss, short recovery time,and negligible rectifying noise. This highly stable electricalcurrent supply further brings out the expressive power ofsound produced by the HC Single-Push-Pull Circuit.
• Wide dynamic range playback, supporting a high-grade audio sources
The PMA-510AE’s tone circuit, power amplifier circuit andother areas have been fine-adjusted to secure a frequencyresponse of up to 100 kHz during actual use. Also, improvementsin the volume circuit suppress noise in theamplifier to achieve high sonic resolution. These featuresand others give the PMA-510AE plenty of latitude to handlethe wide dynamic range of high-grade audio sources suchas Super Audio CD and DVD-Audio.
• Main transformer with separate power supplies for analog and digital circuits
The coiled wire of the power transformer for the audio signaland control circuits has been separated to eliminate mutualinterference and adverse influences on sound quality. ThePMA-510AE also has a prepared transformer to minimizepower consumption during remote power-off standby andimprove environmentally friendly performance.
• Microprocessor stop mode, for higher sound quality
The Microprocessor Stop Mode automatically stops all operationsof the microprocessor when it is not needed duringplayback. By stopping the oscillation of the microprocessor’sclock during normal listening, the audio signal is protectedfrom noise and the quality of sound is improved.
• Thoroughly vibration-resistant design with Direct Mechanical Ground Construction
The power transformers, itself a source of vibration, hasbeen placed near the ground and immediately above theinsulators to allow direct release to the ground and thoroughlyprevent the propagation of unwanted vibration or noise.
• Signal Level Divided Construction
The PMA-510AE employs Denon’s Signal Level DividedConstruction (SLDC) in which the circuits for small and largesignals, the microprocessor, and other circuits are separatedin an ideal manner to minimize mutual interference.
• “Source Direct” function, for clean pure audio playback (simple & straight signal)
The PMA-510AE includes a Source Direct function thatallows the audio signal to bypass the Bass, Treble, Loudness,and Balance control circuits and maintain its purity foroptimum sound transparency during playback. This SourceDirect function works for all input sources.
• Every detail of the design devoted to high-quality sound
The relay switch used for CD and Phono input containsan inert gas to prevent the occurrence of noise that cannegatively affect the signal. In addition, highly reliable partsstrictly selected for their contribution to sound quality, suchas the large-capacity block capacitor for the power supplycircuit, high-quality sound carbon resistors, and high-qualitysound capacitors, are also used. Each individual part employedin configuring the circuits reflects this emphasis onhigh sound quality.

Useful Functions
• Newly-designed System remote unit
The PMA-510AE’s system remote unit controls the mainvolume, function switching, muting, and remote power on/off(linked with an AC outlet). The system remote also controlsDenon CD players and tuners.
