“CUSTOM1” and “CUSTOM2” are adjusted equalizer curves that you can create for yourself. (Refer to “Adjusting 13-band graphic equalizer” on page 33.)

When “FLAT” is selected the equalizer makes no supplement or correction to the sound. This is useful for checking the effect of the equalizer curves by switching alternatively between “FLAT” and a set equalizer curve.

Note:

You can also use 2 and 3 to select the desired equalizer curve.

If you do not operate the function within about eight seconds, the display is automatically returned.
