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

•When the speaker is set to the “OFF” mode, the parametric equalizer for that speaker cannot be set. Refer to “Setting the Speakers” (page 44).
•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.

Adjusting the acoustic image (BI-PHANTOM)
In most installations, the centre speaker must be placed directly between the front passenger and driver. Using this function, the centre channel information is distributed to the left and right speakers. This creates an acoustic image simulating a centre speaker directly in front of each listener. Adjusting the centre width in PL II MUSIC (see “Using the Pro Logic II Mode” on page 42), makes this function ineffective.
