What is a V.C. (Variable Coefficient) filter?

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.
