AUDIO CONTROLS TILT EQ

Controls the amount of tilt equalization applied to the Main Zone audio output connectors labeled Front L/R, Center and Sub. This parameter setting affects the entire frequency spectrum with a hinge point at 1kHz. As the setting increases, frequencies higher than 1kHz are boosted while frequencies lower than 1kHz are simultaneously cut. As the setting decreases, frequencies higher than 1kHz are cut while frequencies lower than 1kHz are simultaneously boosted. The TILT EQ Parameter Settings graph on the next page indicates the frequency response of all TILT EQ parameter settings.

LOUDNESS

ON, OFF

AUDIO CONTROLS LOUDNESS

Controls the amount of low-frequency boost that is automatically applied to the Main Zone audio output connectors labeled Front L/R, Center and Sub. When ON is selected, loudness compensation is automatically applied, based on volume level. As volume level increases, the amount of boost automatically decreases. The loudness contour is optimized for input sources calibrated to THX reference levels. When OFF is selected, no loudness compensation is applied.

The LOUDNESS Parameter Settings graph on the next page indicates the frequency response that is automatically applied when the LOUDNESS parameter is set to ON and Main Zone volume level is adjusted.
