Denon DVD 2900 : Auricap mod

[ozcal]

Hi guy's starting to mod my 2900 for use as a CD transport.
I have read about the Auricap mod where the Xclass caps are replaced by 2 0.47 uf Auricaps. I don't have 0.47 uf Auricaps but do have a pair of 0.56uf s ,are these safe to use or do I need to buy 0.46's ?
Thanks in advance,
Gordon

The caps are to filter mains AC?

Yup!

If they are to filter the mains you need to use an X-class cap, it is a saftey issue, plus you will get no real sonic benefit, though some may say you will.
See note 2.1

It is dangerous and not to be recomended to change these types of capacitor.
