Recalling equalizer curves

!CUSTOM1 and CUSTOM2 are adjusted equalizer curves.

!When FLAT is selected no supplement or correction is made to the sound. This is useful to check the effect of the equalizer curves by switching alternatively between FLAT and a set equalizer curve.

%On the normal display, touch EQ to se- lect the equalizer.

Touch EQ repeatedly to switch between the fol- lowing equalizers:

POWERFUL—NATURAL—VOCAL—FLAT—

CUSTOM1—CUSTOM2—SUPER BASS

# If SFC instead of EQ appears on the normal display, touch SFC and hold to switch to equalizer function. About SFC, refer to Using the sound field control on page 77.

Adjusting 3-band parametric equalizer

For CUSTOM1 and CUSTOM2 equalizer curves, you can adjust the front, rear and cen-

ter equalizer curves separately by selecting a center frequency, an equalizer level and a Q factor for each band.

!A separate CUSTOM1 curve can be cre- ated for each source.

!A CUSTOM2 curve can be created com- mon to all sources.

!The center speaker largely determines the sound image and getting the balance right isn’t easy. We recommend reproducing a 2- ch. audio (a CD for example) and getting the balance right among the speakers ex- cept for the center, and then reproducing a 5.1-ch. audio (Dolby Digital or DTS) and ad- justing the center speaker output to the balance you have already got among the other speakers.

1Touch NEXT twice on the DSP function menu.

2Touch PARAMETRIC EQ.

3Touch a or b to select the desired item. Each time you touch a or b selects the item in the following order:

EQ (equalizer)—SP-SELECT (speakers)— BAND (bands)—FREQUENCY (center fre- quency)—LEVEL (equalizer level)—

Q. FACTOR (Q factor)

4Touch d to select the equalizer.

Touch d repeatedly to switch between the fol- lowing equalizers:

POWERFUL—NATURAL—VOCAL—FLAT— CUSTOM1—CUSTOM2—SUPER BASS

5Touch b and then touch c or d to se- lect the speaker to be adjusted.

Touch c or d until the desired speaker ap- pears in the display.
