Boosting the bass sound — D-bass
You can enjoy a 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
while the vocal remains at the same volume.
You can emphasize and adjust the bass sound
easily with the D-BASS control. This is similar
in effect to an optional subwoofer system.
