What 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.
Note
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.
