Adjusting 3-band parametric equalizer

For Custom1 and Custom2 equalizer curves, you can adjust the front, rear and center equalizer curves separately by selecting a cen- ter frequency, an equalizer level and a Q factor for each band.

!A separate Custom1 curve can be created for each source.

!A Custom2 curve can be created common to all sources.

!The center speaker largely determines the sound image and getting the balance right isn’t easy. We recommend reproducing a 2- ch. audio (a CD for example) and getting the balance right among the speakers ex- cept for the center, and then reproducing a 5.1-ch. audio (Dolby Digital or DTS) and ad- justing the center speaker output to the balance you have already got among the other speakers.

%Touch PARAMETRIC EQ on the DSP function menu.

Note

You can select a center frequency for each band. You can change the center frequency in 1/3-oc- tave steps, but you cannot select frequencies that have intervals shorter than 1 octave among the center frequencies of the three bands.
