CUSTOM VS PRESET

MODE ADJUST (Listening Mode) CUSTOM CUSTOM VS PRESET

Allows comparison listening to the custom and factory-default versions of the selected listening mode. When PRESET is selected, the listening mode is heard in its factory-default condition – as if all parameters had been restored to their factory-default settings. No parameter settings are affected when this option is selected. The listening mode will revert to its modified condition when the CUSTOM VS PRESET option is closed.

When CUSTOM is selected, the listening mode is heard in its custom condition – with all of its current parameter settings. The CUSTOM option is available even when no parameter settings have been adjusted. However, the PRESET and CUSTOM options will sound identical until adjustments are made.

To toggle between the factory-default and modified versions of the selected listening mode:

1.Follow the CUSTOM VS PRESET menu path to open the CUSTOM VS PRESET drop-down menu.

2.When the CUSTOM VS PRESET drop-down menu opens, press

	the Menu	and	arrows to toggle between the PRESET
	(factory-default) and CUSTOM (customized) versions of the
	selected listening mode.
3.	When finished, press the Menu arrow to close the CUSTOM
	VS PRESET menu.
4.	Press the Menu		arrow to close the CUSTOM menu and

return to the listening mode menu.
