What is a variable coefficient (VC) digital filter?

CD players use digital filters to eliminate the noise generated during sampling. You can change the tone of your music by changing the cutoff characteristics of the digital filter. This unit has four types of filters with different coefficient characteristics: “Plain,” “Analog A,” “Analog B,” and “Standard.”
