Playing Back With Different Tones (Digital Filter)

This deck is equipped with the V.C. (Variable Coefficient) filters to allow you adjust the tone to match your audio system, listening environment, and the source being played back.

Note

The digital filters are effective only on the analog signals output from the LINE(ANALOG) OUT connectors and the PHONES connector.

The currently selected filter appears in the display.

2Press FILTER repeatedly to select the filter that you want.

Each press of the button changes the filter as follows:

nDF:Standard nDF:Spline* nDF:Plain nDF:Analog

*European model only

zYou can select the filter using the remote

Press FILTER repeatedly until the filter that you want appears in the display.

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.

Notes

A momentary sound dropout occurs when the filter setting is changed during playback or recording.

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.

Fading In and Out (Fader) Z

You can gradually increase the playback level of the signal output from the LINE(ANALOG ) IN/OUT connectors and the PHONES connector at the beginning of a playback (fade in) or gradually decrease the playback level at the end of a playback (fade out). This function is convenient when, for example, you want to start or end playback in the middle of the track.
