Adjusting the volume of
the bass and treble
— Digital Tone Control
The CDX-C860 has a built-in DSP 1C that uses
digital processing to create clearer adjustments
to the bass and treble volume than analog
circuits.
The sharper tone slopes used in this unit
produce more obvious and effective tone
responses. For example, you can enhance the
background music with the bass volume and
effectively isolate the main vocals.
