SYSTEM RESPONSE SCREEN

From the Introductory screen you can get to the System Response screen which is used to display the frequency response graph for the subwoofer’s output. See Figure 3. See the Remote Control Button Sequence Commands table on page 25 for the button sequence.

The System Response screen has the following information and features on it:

A system response graph that shows the subwoofer’s low frequency output from 15 to 200 Hz.

A moving screen pixel marks on the frequency response curve the current frequency of the sweep tone that is playing.

8 parametric filters each of which can be used at its current frequency or adjusted to a frequency and Q you desire between 15 and 200 Hz when in Manual-EQ mode.

The filter level range is -13db to +6dB although the screen is only marked from -12dB to +6dB.
