Adjusting the equalization patterns

You can adjust the equalization patterns to your preference.

•Once you have made an adjustment, it is memorized for each source.

•The equalization pattern affects the front speaker sounds only.

7Equalization adjustment—EQ 63Hz, EQ250Hz, EQ 1kHz, EQ 4kHz, EQ16kHz

You can adjust five frequencies (63 Hz, 250 Hz, 1 kHz,

4 kHz, 16 kHz) within the range of –8 dB to +8 dB (“0 (dB)” is the initial setting) in 2 dB steps.

•When an adjustment is made, the D. EQ indicator lights up on the display.

To flat the equalization pattern, set all the frequencies to “0 (dB)” in step 4 of “Basic Procedure” (on page 27). The D. EQ indicator goes off from the display.

Note:

When Analog Direct is in use, Equalization patterns are not available.

You can also use the remote control for equalization adjustment.
