Denon's DN-V755 Assures That City Council Gets The Word Out
When Needed. Junction City Council Chamber building has complete
refit of information A/V system, with Denon DN-V755 Network A/V
Player cost-effectively replacing cable and PC-based sources

NSCA EXPO, LAS VEGAS, NV, March 16, 2006
Emergency news is critical in Kansas during tornado season, and this
year residents of Junction City will be able to get their emergency
warnings and other important municipal news in a much more timely
manner, thanks to the inclusion of a Denon Professional DN-V755
Network A/V Player as part of a complete renovation of the city’s
Council Chambers facility. The media systems retrofit, which was
completed late last year, was designed and installed by Sound Solutions,
the install division of SM Hanson, Inc. of Salina, Kansas, and also
included a Marantz PMD570 rackmount Solid State Recorder that is
now used to record all of the Council’s meetings.

For years, the Junction City municipal cable channel had relied on a
PC running a PowerPoint® presentation outlining civil emergency
procedures for the city and surrounding area cablecast on a signal from
Cox Cable, which also supplied prerecorded background music. The
system was fine for routine community affairs messages, but was
cumbersome to update and activate in the event of an emergency, such
as a tornado. “The Council wanted to be able to remotely activate and
control the channel so it could be updated for situations like that,” says
Aaron Johnson, Senior Systems Designer at Sound Solutions. “We
installed the Denon DN-V755 as part of the overhaul of their entire
A/V system specifically for this purpose, and it is the absolute best
solution on the market for this. All of the PowerPoint slides were
loaded into the Denon system, as well as a much wider array of music
and other audio choices. Now, the system can be activated remotely by
the City Manager, from home at 2 a.m., if necessary, via a secure,
password-protected IP connection to the DN-V755. This way, the city is
able to instantly run important messages and customize the sound that
accompanies them. And with the DN-V755, it was able to accomplish
this far more cost-effectively than they had with the previous
arrangement, and the entire solution is contained in a single rack.
These are advantages that only the DN-V755 could bring to this
situation.”

The compact Denon Professional DN-V755 is indeed a single-system
solution. It is remotely accessible via the web, has an internal 40 GB
hard drive and provides system integrators with the solution they need
to meet the increasing demand for digital signage multimedia solutions
for theme parks, museums, houses of worship, kiosks, crisis
management centers, retail environments and other commercial
applications where high-quality, highly-reliable, customized video is
desired.

Many sound systems, whether they're in theatres,
offices, schools, or church sanctuaries, are subject to
common complaints: It's not loud enough. It's too loud.
It's unpleasant, or it's unintelligible and lacks fidelity.
The cause of these problems could be as simple as
inadequate microphones, or speakers that are placed
incorrectly or outdated equipment.

The Professional Sound Team of S.M. Hanson can
provide a complete check-up of your entire system from

"In the fall of 1996, the sound
system for our football field
failed during the intro-squad
scrimmage. The system was
diagnosed as 'dead' by an
electronics repairman. We had
a home game the following
week, and the people at S.M.
Hanson Music Store worked
with us to find a system that
would best meet our needs and
was affordable. They located
the system and it arrived within
three days. They professionally
installed the system. We have
been very pleased with the
performance of the system. It
does everything they said it
would do."
"The Employees of S.M.
Hanson went above and beyond
in their efforts to supply us
with a good sound system in a
short time. We will certainly
rely on their professional
expertise whenever we have
the need."
