3 Basics of Equalization
If the Release Edit Group feature is off, the next [BAND SELECT] button you press after you have changed the level of the Edit Group will simply add that band to the Edit Group. The upside of this is the convenience of being able to edit three frequencies +3 dB, for example, and then add another frequency to the pile and edit them all another +2 dB without having to reselect the first three. The downside is that you will have to deselect all four bands if you want to grab one more frequency and edit it by itself.
There are pros and cons to both ways of working. So, experiment with this feature and see which way works best for you.
To enable or disable the Release Edit Group feature from this Setup mode page, press one of the [DOWN/UP] buttons.
Button 3: Audition Automation (On/Off)

The default setting for this function is "Off;" to enable it press one of the [DOWN/UP] buttons.
Button 5: Lock (On/Off)
This function enables you to choose a particular program as the only one that can be selected once the DEQ230 is powered on. After this has been done, pressing any button besides the [POWER] button will cause the Numeric LED Display to show “Lo” for “locked.” This is handy for environments in which the DEQ230 is used for tuning a room, for example, or whenever you don't want someone calling up a different program, editing the
