!Custom 1 and Custom 2 are adjusted equalizer curves that you create. Adjust- ments can be made with a 7-band graphic equalizer.

!When Flat is selected no supplement or correction is made to the sound. This is useful to check the effect of the equalizer curves by switching alternatively between Flat and a set equalizer curve.

%Press EQ to select the equalizer.

Press EQ repeatedly to switch between the fol- lowing equalizers: Powerful—Natural—Vocal—Custom 1— Custom 2—Flat—Super Bass (S.Bass)

Adjusting equalizer curves

The factory supplied equalizer curves, with the exception of Flat, can be adjusted to a fine de- gree (nuance control).

1Use MULTI-CONTROL to select the gra- phic equalizer adjustment.

Powerful appears in the display.

If the equalizer curve has been previously se- lected, the curve of that previously selected will be displayed instead of Powerful.

2Push MULTI-CONTROL left or right to select an equalizer curve.

Each time MULTI-CONTROL is pushed left or right, equalizer curves are selected in the fol- lowing order:

Powerful—Natural—Vocal—Custom 1— Custom 2—Flat—Super Bass (S.Bass)

3Push MULTI-CONTROL up or down to adjust the equalizer curve.

Each time MULTI-CONTROL is pushed up or down, the equalizer curve increases or de- creases respectively.

+6 to –4 (or –6) is displayed as the equalizer curve is increased or decreased.

#The actual range of the adjustments are differ- ent depending on which equalizer curve is se- lected.

#The equalizer curve with all frequencies set to 0 cannot be adjusted.

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.

1Recall the equalizer curve you want to adjust.

See Recalling equalizer curves on the previous page.

2Use MULTI-CONTROL to select 7-band graphic equalizer adjustment.

Frequency and the level (e.g., 50Hz +4) ap- pears in the display.

3Push MULTI-CONTROL left or right to select the equalizer band to adjust.

Each time MULTI-CONTROL is pushed left or right, equalizer bands are selected in the fol- lowing order:

50Hz—125Hz—315Hz—800Hz—2kHz— 5kHz—12.5kHz

4Push MULTI-CONTROL up or down to adjust the level of the equalizer band. Each time MULTI-CONTROL is pushed up or down, the level of the equalization band in- creases or decreases.
