Changing the sound and beep sound

Boosting the bass sound — D-bass

You can enjoy a clear and powerful bass sound.

The D-bass function boosts the low frequency signal with a sharper curve than conventional bass boost.

You can hear the bass line more clearly even while the vocal remains at the same volume. You can emphasize and adjust the bass sound easily with the D-BASS control. This is similar in effect to an optional subwoofer system.
