Running Manual EQ Optimization– Adjust it to Your Liking

In some particularly problematic rooms, it may be necessary to employ even further adjustment than the Auto-EQPLUS. Manual EQ gives enough flexibility to get the subwoofer response very flat:

1)Set up the microphone, subwoofer and Sweep Tone CD as in the Auto-EQPLUSoptimization instructions.

2)Connect your subwoofer to your TV video input as described above in the Make Video Connection between TV and Subwoofer section.

3)Set the system playback volume level as in the Auto-EQPLUSoptimization instructions.

4)Push 1 – 2 – 3 – 4 – 5 on the remote. If you are already on the System Response screen, select the MANUAL option in the EQ MODE area.

5)Watch the status messages for SYNCING.

6)When the status message says SYNCED, start adjusting the subwoofer parameters. Do not attempt to adjust any settings until the status message says SYNCED. SYNCED means the subwoofer has synchronized its frequency measurement with the frequency of the sweep tone being played through your audio system. An indication of not being synced is that you raise or lower filter slider and the response curve moves at another frequency. Also, the marker in the sweep tone (a small pop) occurs anywhere but at the top of the graph.

7)Click Mute. You can now see the low frequency character of the satellites so that you can make a judgment about their roll-off frequency and slope to properly blend to them with the Digital DrivePLUS subwoofer.

8)Click Mute again to restore the subwoofer to playing.

In Manual-EQ, if you press RESET on the remote, you are prompted if you want to save and exit, exit without saving, or to cancel the exit action.

9)Adjust the preset parameters.

10)Adjust the parametric filter EQ parameters.

11)Save your changes as described in the Save Settings section.
