treble to comprehensive room correction. The Digital Room Equalizer

 

enables you to adjust frequency response through three discrete

 

bands (I, II, and III). The four adjustable parameters available are fil-

 

ter type, frequency, shape, and level.

 

There are four Room EQ setup memories, each of which saves

 

every parameter set for every filter, for every channel. Each setup

 

memory can save a configuration, for example, one for stereo music,

 

one for multichannel music, one for movie surround, and one for

 

video game software.

 

You can adjust the filters for the Home Theater Standard 7.1 chan-

 

nels globally or individually. Up to three filters can be configured to

 

act equally on all seven channels of audio. Alternatively, each filter

 

can be configured separately for each individual channel.
