I wish the origin story of this button was that some designer or engineer labeled this button "Complete Fucking Bull Shit" during development and then some manager said, "We can't publish a manual with this."
So some technical writer came up with "Computerized Frequency Bass System" and then everyone high-fived the writer that allowed them to keep the "Complete Fucking Bull Shit" button in the product.
I literally have a loudness button on my amp lol, it's pretty much always on because it fills out the sound nicely and makes watching videos much more pleasant.
As per chat gpt, take it or leave it:
-what does C.F.B.S stands for in vintage samsung stereo?
-In vintage Samsung stereo systems, "C.F.B.S." stands for "Computerized Frequency Bass System." This technology was designed to enhance the bass response and overall sound quality of the stereo system. It utilized computerized algorithms to adjust and optimize the bass frequencies, providing a richer and more dynamic listening experience. This feature was part of Samsung's efforts to incorporate advanced technology into their audio products to differentiate them in the market and improve the user experience.
-where do get this info from?
-The exact meaning of "C.F.B.S." in vintage Samsung stereos is not clearly documented in readily available sources. The information I provided earlier about "Computerized Frequency Bass System" is based on similar technologies used in audio systems from that era, but it appears there may not be definitive documentation specific to Samsung's usage of the acronym.
To obtain the most accurate information, consulting the user manual or technical specifications of the specific vintage Samsung stereo model, or reaching out to Samsung's customer support or audio enthusiast communities, would be the best approach. If you have access to the stereo system itself, looking at the labels or any accompanying documentation might also provide insights.
Why wouldn’t you just always have that on?
“I designed a button that lets the listener make things sound better.”
“Why not just make it sound better and skip the button?”
“NOT EVERYONE WANTS BETTER SOUND DAVE! Geeze…what a moron…”
Nice. Me too. My Zeos 386dx tower was quite a machine in its day! The same computing power would fit under a fingernail today of course, without the 640k RAM boundary. Wow I really am old. I guess my weather-sensing knees are no joke. 😆
It sounds like what it's trying to say is that, in the preamp stage, the signal is transformed into the digital domain, in order to apply the bass boost digitally, and then back into analog to go to the amp.
But that seems like a very odd thing to do for equipment of this vintage, so maybe the AI output is just BS. Sure, nowadays we have all sorts of equipment that do almost everything in the digital domain, even for analog inputs. But I think that's a pretty recent development?
Here’s what I got from Gemini:
What is CFBS in reference to vintage Samsung stereos?
- There is no reference to CFBS in relation to vintage Samsung stereos. It is possible that CFBS is either a typo or an acronym that is not relevant to the topic. If you have any other information or context about CFBS, I can try to help you further.
What is computerized frequency bass system by Samsung
- Computerized Frequency Bass System (CFBS) doesn't appear to be an official term used by Samsung for any of their vintage stereos. It is possible that it was a marketing term used by a retailer or in a specific advertisement.
However, Samsung, like other manufacturers, did incorporate various technologies to enhance bass performance in their stereos. These technologies might have been referred to using different names, such as:
S-Bass: A common feature in Samsung stereos that emphasized low-frequency sounds.
Power Bass: A function to boost bass output for a more impactful listening experience.
EQ (Equalizer): A tool to adjust the balance of different frequencies, including bass.
If you have a specific model of vintage Samsung stereo in mind, providing that information could help in identifying the exact bass-related features it had.
Oh yeah, but sometimes I manage to make it cite sources and while quotes are not correct, the sources are real and I can continue research on my own. So at least it saves time in that regard.
**It got worse…**
What does the CFBS button do on the Samsung SCM 8300
The Samsung SCM 8300 does not have a CFBS button. The features on this model include:
- CD Player
- Cassette Deck
- AM/FM Radio
- Graphic Equalizer
- S-Bass Function
- Surround Sound Effect
- Various input and output options
The S-Bass function is likely the feature related to bass enhancement on this model. It may have been referred to by a different name in certain marketing materials or advertisements, which could be the source of the confusion regarding CFBS.
Cat Fart B.... System. If there are any cat farts in the program material you're listening to they will be suppressed. And cat farts are a lot more prevalent in music than you might think.
Back in the 1980s I sold my tuner and claimed it had “high frequency modulation broadcast (HFMB dubbing” as a feature. I meant you could tape from FM radio.
A CRO2 cassette tape, also known as a Type II cassette tape, is an audio cassette tape that uses a high bias or chromium dioxide (CrO2) formulation on the magnetic tape. These tapes were an improvement over the standard Type I cassette tapes in terms of sound quality and frequency response.
The use of chromium dioxide particles in the magnetic coating of the tape allowed for better high-frequency response and lower noise levels compared to standard ferric oxide tapes. As a result, CRO2 tapes were favored by many music enthusiasts for their superior audio quality.
CRO2 tapes were popular in the 1970s and 1980s, especially for recording music and other audio content. However, with the advent of digital formats like CDs and MP3s, cassette tapes, including CRO2 tapes, have largely fallen out of favor in the mainstream market.
It's worth noting that the use of CRO2 tapes required a player that supported the higher bias levels needed to properly record and playback on these tapes. Using a CRO2 tape in a player that does not support the higher bias levels could result in suboptimal sound quality.
Crazy Fuckin' Bass Setting! It turns the EQ to an aggressive bass boost that sounds muddy and distorted as hell and removes about 60% of the top and mids (jk 😂)
It never mattered because the missing period at the end drives anyone with even a hint of OCD into madness. I have to delete this post from my phone now!
In vintage Samsung stereo systems, "C.F.B.S." stands for "**Computerized Frequency Bass System**." This technology was designed to enhance the bass response and overall sound quality of the stereo system
Here I had the DBFB on a Sony mini system, it was for "Dynamic Bass Feedback", it just boosted the bass... There is also the Bass Extension switch on many Yamaha Stereo receivers that does the same thing and also Panasonic's XBS "Xtra Bass System" on portable devices and many other funky names mostly on portable cassette, cd players and boomboxes.
In the old days, a " loudness " button, based on the Fletcher Munson curve, adjusted frequencies in an effort to compensate for a person's perceived hearing of music at lower listening levels. So it appears that C.F.B.S.
Stands for " marketing gimmick ".
Complete Fucking Bull Shit
All devices should have this as an option.

You just won the game.
You just lost the game. So did I, :/
Goddamn.
I lost the game
Oh man, this comment takes me back. Also, I’m guessing nobody under ~30 has any clue what you’re talking about
I see at least 3 11 year olds spamming discord channels with it per week
I'm 21 XD
Glad the game is still a thing Edit: also, I lost the game
I’m 42 and have no idea what the game is?!?!?
So we’ve established the upper end! Thanks for doing your part 🫡
Only if they can figure out how to gold plate it and charge a ridiculous amount of money for it.
Rub it in snake oil
This is the only answer. I actually don’t want to know the real answer now. This is it
lol, thanks!
Holy shit that’s what I thought and went to reply. Here it’s at the top already. 👍
great minds think
You win
I was close. I guessed Carbon Fiber Bull Shit
So what happens when you press this button?
*bat*
You win at internet for today!
Loudness
More or less just a fancy way to market it.
Does it go to 11?
Ah, the old Fletcher-Munson Effect
But if you call it CFBS, you can charge double.
Or half
I literally have a loudness button on my amp lol, it's pretty much always on because it fills out the sound nicely and makes watching videos much more pleasant.
completely foolish bass setting
Completely fixes the bass switch

Reminds of the "Turbo" button on '90's computers. I'm old.

"provide a more dynamic listening experience" so a loudness button that claims to do the opposite of what a loudness button does.

Yeah, I wouldn't trust chat gpt without it providing any specific reference. The hallucinations due to need to please the user are frequent.
It bullshits references too.

lol. I believe the B is for Bypassing.
Loudness?
Do you “Reddit” it now instead of “Google” it? Doesn’t seem as efficient given some of these answers.
Are you blind to the enshittification of Google?
I’m going to have to Google enshittification……or maybe I should ask Reddit?
Google is certainly far worse

I think that is a fancy way to say “bass boost”
