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) j
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.

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 types of
digital filters: standard, spline, plane, and analog. A
brief description is given below of the sound
characteristics of each filter.
Fade-in playback
During playback pause, press FADE at the position
where you want fade-in playback to start.
"FADE IN" flashes in the display and the deck
performs fade-in playback until the counter reaches to
"0.0s."
Standard
This filter produces an expansive sound of wide range.
Spline
This filter produces a sound that is clearly positioned
and smooth.
Plane
This filter produces a fresh and powerful sound.
Analog
This filter produces a resonant avad mellow sound.
