Adjusting 7-band graphic equalizer

For Custom 1 and Custom 2 equalizer curves, you can adjust the level of each band.

!A separate Custom 1 curve can be created for each source. (The built-in CD player and the multi-CD player are set to the same equalizer adjustment setting automati- cally.) If you make adjustments when a curve other than Custom 2 is selected, the equalizer curve settings will be memorized in Custom 1.

!A Custom 2 curve can be created common to all sources. If you make adjustments when the Custom 2 curve is selected, the Custom 2 curve will be updated.
