Parametric Equalizer Adjustments
The frequency bands of the graphic equalizer are fixed. This makes it very difficult to correct for undesired peaks and dips at specific frequencies. The parametric equalizer’s centre frequency can be tuned to these specific frequencies. Then, the bandwidth (Q) and level are

Adjustable bands:
FRONT/REAR/CENTER: 5 bands

7 Select the frequency by turning and then pressing
the Rotary encoder, then press MODE.
The adjustable frequency changes according the band.
8 Adjust the band width (Q) by turning the
Rotary encoder, then press MODE.
The band width is adjustable in 6 steps: 0.5/1/2/3/4/5
9 Adjust the level (LEVEL) (±9dB 1dB step) by turning
the Rotary encoder, then press MODE.
10 To adjust other bands, repeat steps 6 to 9.
11 To adjust other channels, repeat steps 5 to 10.

The unit returns to the normal mode.
•When the speaker is set to the “OFF” mode, the parametric equalizer for that speaker cannot be set. Refer to “Setting the Speakers” (page 37).
•It is not possible to adjust the frequencies of adjacent bands within 7 steps.
•Check the playable frequency ranges of the connected speakers before making the equalizer adjustments. If the speaker’s playable frequency range is 55 Hz to 30 kHz, for example, adjusting the 40 Hz or 20 Hz band has no effect. Additionally, you may overload and damage the speakers.
•When the parametric EQ is adjusted, the adjustment for graphic EQ becomes ineffective.
•When the setting is complete, it is recommended to store the setting contents. For storing, refer to page 44.
