You can enjoy a clear and powerful bass
sound. The D-bass function boosts the low
frequency signal and high frequency signal
with a sharper curve than conventional bass

You can hear the bass line more clearly even
while the vocal volume remains the same. You
can emphasize and adjust the bass sound
easily with the D-BASS control.

Press 

(D-BASS)

 repeatedly to select the

desired bass curve.

As the D-BASS number increases so does
