discrete bands (I, II, and III). The four adjustable parameters available

 

 

are filter 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 S–1000 channels globally or individual-

 

ly. Up to three filters can be configured to act equally on all seven

 

channels of audio. Alternatively, each filter can be configured sepa-

 

rately for each individual channel.
