Selecting Bass Max EQ mode (Maker’s setting)

10 typical equalizer settings are preset at the factory for a variety of musical source material.

Setting item: BASS MAX EQ

HIPHOP / EASY / COUNTRY / CLASSIC / NEWS / CUSTOM *

* Contents that are adjusted in parametric EQ.

Adjusting and Storing/Recalling the Parametric EQ

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 center frequency can be tuned to these specific frequencies. Then, the bandwidth (Q) and level are fine-tuned, independently, to make the necessary corrections. The parametric equalizer function is an advanced tool for serious audiophiles.

Setting item: P-EQ

1Touch [ ] of P-EQ.

The screen changes to the P-EQ screen to be adjusted.
