zWhat is a V.C. (Variable Coefficient) filter?

A variable coefficient filter changes the sound characteristics of a signal by applying specific frequency cut-off conditions. Such filters are provided on digital devices such as CD players and MD decks to remove aliasing noise. Your deck comes with four or three types of digital filters. A brief description is given below of the sound characteristics of each filter.

Standard

This filter produces an expansive sound of wide range.

Spline (European model only)

This filter produces a sound that is clearly positioned and smooth.

Plain

This filter produces a fresh and powerful sound.

Analog

This filter produces a resonant and mellow sound.

Note

The change in sound characteristics caused by digital filters occur mainly in the inaudible range, not the audible range as in the case of an amplifier.
