Adjusting 16-band graphic equalizer

For Custom1 and Custom2 equalizer curves, you can adjust the level of each band.

!A separate Custom1 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 Custom2 is selected, the equalizer curve settings will be memorized in Custom1.

!A Custom2 curve can be created common to all sources. If you make adjustments when the Custom2 curve is selected, the Custom2 curve will be updated.
