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 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.

1 Check that the defeat mode is off. (see page 28.)

2 Press the P.EQ button to set the parametric equalizer mode.

3 Press and hold the CHANNEL button for at least 2 seconds and select “L and R (LR)” or “L or R”.

L and R (LR) L or R

(factory default)

L and R (LR): Sets the same adjustment values for the left and right channels.

L or R: Different adjustment values can be set for the left and right channels.

4 Press the CHANNEL button to select the desired channel, then press the ENTER button.

When “L and R (LR)” is selected:

*1

Front Rear Center Sub. W

When “L or R” is selected:

*1 When centre is set to subwoofer, it is not displayed.

*2 When centre is set to subwoofer, it becomes Sub.W(L).

*3 When centre is set to subwoofer, it becomes Sub.W(R).

5 Turn the Rotary encoder to select the band, then press the ENTER button.
