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.
