You can enjoy a clear and powerful bass
sound.

while the vocal volume remains the same. You
can emphasise and adjust the bass sound
easily with the D-BASS control.

Turn the D-BASS control to adjust the
bass level (1, 2, or 3).

D-BASS control or volume.

Press (6) while pressing (SOUND).
To obtain the beep sound again, press these
buttons again.
