Equalizer Presets

You can select one of the seven-band Equalizer Presets or create your own personal preset. The seven-band graphic equalizer lets you adjust the audio frequency settings. The equalizer can only be changed if the Fixed/Variable Audio Output is set to Variable Output, Speakers On in the Audio Connections menu. If the Fixed/Variable Audio Output is set to Fixed Output, you cannot make changes to the equalizer and the bands are set to 0dB. However, the graphic equalizer levels for Variable Output, Speakers On are stored in memory in case you switch from Fixed Output back to Variable Output, Speakers On.

Note: Equalizer Presets are stored for each input. All other audio feature settings are stored globally across all inputs and not per input.
