Whilst the “Let’s make it the same as…” idea sometimes has depth, the LEDs used within the SC5000 design are specific to their intended roles.
The majority of the LED control illumination are white, rather than RGB.
The exceptions to this are the RGB illumination in the following locations:
Ahh okay so except the ones that do change color, everything else doesn’t. This idea was simply to make it a bit more apparent to which layer you’re on, I haven’t used these myself except for mixing two tracks in a guitar center. I’m sold on these at this point! I’ll keep thinking of things based on what I do know about them.
Display of the layers is really well covered already.
You can choose your preferred User colours for each of the two layers.
eg:
Layer A - Purple Layer B - Yellow
Those colours are then used by the LED ring which encircles the platter, which changes to the colour of the layer which is currently being controlled.
The round LAYER switch to the left of the display also takes on the colour of the layer which is currently being controlled.
Also, the layer name ( A or B ) of the layer currently being controlled, is shown in the lower left corner of the main touch screen display.
And…the scrolling waveform display shows both layers waveforms on the screen. Switching the currently controlled layer and the other layer from the main part of the screen to the lower section of the screen - always with play position of both tracks and “end of track” warning colour pulsing hints.
Plus, whenever the layer control is switched from A to B or vice versa… the layer which you’ve just switched to is displayed briefly in the centre platter display.
So overall, thats 5 indications of which layer is currently in use - just on the player itself.
Additional indications could also include the mixer that you’ve got the SC5000 plugged into. That will probably show bouncing lights/LEDs on a playing channel also, and headphone cueing will help differentiate channels/layers also.
Oh okay cool, I wasn’t aware of all that!
You forgot one Gee! There is also a long coloured bar across the screen just under the track title that is matched to the layer colour.
Liquid ingress isnt usually covered by the warranty - however, you may find that in a number of days, the button click and feel //might// return.
maybe a different topic but the posting of @addie shows that the SC5000 contains a WIFI module and bluetooth. I was not aware of this, and to my knowledge it is not used now but it could be used in the future…
This is news to me but maybe others were aware of this?
Also news to me, but they said it would be future proof. Just look at the mixer and the stuff that’s not used yet.
Just saw this, too. Now that’s interesting news. Maybe an app for mobile devices is coming?
I was aware of this for a while, but the point here in this topic was that @Subtronic wanted to see the inside 
Not exactly sure if Denon wants this out already, especially since they do not respond.
On the other hand, if you just read the User Guide (page 5) there’s also an indication :
RF Warning: This is a mobile device. Maintain a distance of at least 8 inches / 20 centimeters of separation between the transmitter’s radiating structure(s) and your body or other people nearby.
We have to wait and see what’s coming (or not)… I also can think of numerous possibilities (personally I hope for direct online music access like Spotify and Pulselocker), but that might be something (fun) for another topic. My point here was to answer the question about the inside 
Thanks heaps addie and now you have me even more excited by what might be in the future for the SC5000
In the set up menu there is an option that says “check for firmware updates” and I thought to myself how on earth is that going to happen. You guys might be on to something.
Update could already be done with the ethernet port on the mixer. The mixer has already got an ip-address in my network.
The only new thing is that this could be done wirelessly. Also imagine putting a playlist live on social media with an app, save setting on your phone etc. etc. etc.
The presence of WiFi and BT modules in the unit was known even before the unit was announced by Denon (somebody found tehnical data on the FCC page) so yeah, kinda late a bit on this Prime train.
Also, previous generation of Denon media players had a ios app that was used wifi to browse and load tracks into decks (that were connected into a wifi router).
I think it’s pretty obvious what the fut…sorry - past brings.
Kudos for finding/posting this. They certainly weren’t joking around when they kept mentioning “future proofing.” The nerd in me smiled seeing the pic of the ARM STM32F, that’s a beefy processor. 
Loving the modular design. DIY repairs should be easy depending on the fasteners used to hold it together.
Yeah, real easy to keep secrets in this day and age 
Not like anyone opened up the iPhone X the minute is was available to show the whole world what was inside.
Yes, that was a pretty decent app in combination with two SC2900s.
i would like to see the beatkeeper countdown bar for the two playing decks, in one player or split waveform for the two playing decks, like you do when you are using serato dj/pro.
Is it possible to flip the way the play button works? Like you can with the hotels mode. I would like to use shift play for play/pause, and cup as default. If possible option, would be awesome. Oh and i now know its a sersto feature, but i saw it in a mcx8000 video, the keyshift mode for the hotcuebutons. And i would like to lock the New keyboard when changing tempo without keylock. So basicly use the tempofader as a keyfader, up to a certain tresshold to maintain quality of course…
A features I would like to see implemented:
Hot cue banks (a la Rekordbox) using any tracks with your music collection in engine prime software which can then be exported to USB and loaded on the hotcue triggers, layer A or B, on the player. Which would give me the ability to play different track section on each hotcue.
A way to dim or turn off the botton lights on the player, their intensity is kind of over the top for my taste.
That it, not much
Cheers
