I should have qualified my remarks by stating that I was working on an SP10 Mk2 circuit board, not a Denon. Also, so long as one observes polarity and the capacitor values (replace a 10uF with a 10uF, etc), and so long as one uses electrolytic capacitors of the same or higher voltage rating compared to the originals, everything should be OK. I don't think letter codes mean much; they are used by manufacturers to denote something about construction, usually. Of course, one also must replace nonpolar electrolytics with nonpolars. Film caps in general probably do not need to be replaced. The additional up side of doing this is that modern electrolytics are superior to those that were made 30 years ago.The term "coupling capacitor" refers only to the job that the capacitor is doing in the circuit. Any kind of capacitor can be used in a coupling application. In this case, one would want to replace like with like. So if your Denon called for a non polar or a film capacitor as a coupler, then a general purpose polar electrolytic would not be the best choice. But in fact it would work.
