The design of the DENON DP-300F is made in an elegant, concise style. The device boasts a heavier and more rigid plastic body with a wall thickness of 4 mm and a weight of 5.5 kg, when compared with the younger player from this line. The table, finished in glossy lacquer, has anti-vibration legs and is covered with a neat dust cover. The model is fully automated. After assembling and setting it up, it is enough to install the disk, select its size using the appropriate button (12-inch longplay or 7-inch minion) and press the Start button located on the front end next to the Stop button, and then DENON DP-300F silver will do everything himself. The stylus of the cartridge will automatically be set to the initial track of the disc, and after playing the entire record, the tone arm will return to its place. It is allowed to install the needle on the disk manually, which will be convenient in case of arbitrary selection of a track for listening. Includes adapter for 45 rpm EP type records.

The platter is made of high precision die-cast aluminum, which is important for its smooth, uniform rotation. A rubber mat is installed on top of it. A DC servo motor is used, which transmits torque to the disk using a belt drive. Switching speeds of rotation (33.3 or 45 rpm) occurs when a key is pressed.

The regular straight tonearm is equipped with an anti-skating system and a microlift. It is also possible to adjust downforce. Adjustment of vertical and horizontal angles is not provided here. The kit includes a DSN-85 MM-cartridge with the ability to quickly change the needle. If necessary, you can install another model instead. The weight of the pickup head according to the instructions should be in the range from 5 to 10 grams. Removable shell greatly simplifies cartridge installation.

The player comes with an interconnect cable with RCA connectors. The model can work with almost any amplifier or AV receiver, as it is equipped with a built-in switchable MM phono stage. The shutdown function provides additional convenience when upgrading, for example, in the case of purchasing a separate external equalizer.
