Changing the sound and
beep tone
Boosting the bass sound — D-bass
You can enjoy 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 if
the vocal volume remains the same. You can
emphasize and adjust the bass sound easily
with the D-BASS control. This effect is similar
to the one you get when you use an optional
subwoofer system.
Moreover, the Digital D-bass* function creates
even sharper and more powerful bass sounds
than Analog D-bass.
Adjusting the bass curve
Turn the D-BASS control to adjust the
bass level (1, 2 or 3).
“D-BASS”* appears in the display.
To cancel, turn the control to the OFF position.
* If the CD changer has the digital D-bass function,
“DIGITAL D-BASS” appears on the display during CD
playback.
Note
If the bass sound becomes distorted, adjust the D-BASS
control or volume button.
Attenuating the beep tone
Press (6) while pressing (SEL).
To obtain the beep tone again, press these
buttons again.
Note
If you connect an optional power amplifier to the LINE
OUT and do not use the built-in amplifier, the beep tone
will be disabled.
