Adjusting the Sound

This chapter describes how to use the Sound Menu to adjust the equalizer parameters and speaker balance. The adjusted equalizer parameter can be stored in the memory of the receiver for later recall.

All sound adjustments can be made with the Sound Menu. The Sound Menu contains following submenus:

EQ BANK submenu

Nine preset settings are stored and can be recalled using this submenu. EQ1 to 5 stores five three-band equalizer settings; Parametric EQ1 to 3 stores three parametric equalizer settings; and EQ FLAT stores one flat pattern.

EQ Control submenu

After selecting one of the three-band equalizer settings stored in EQ1 to 5 through the EQ BANK submenu, you can change the bass, midrange, and treble parameters of the selected setting through the EQ Control submenu. The EQ Control submenu can be accessed only after you have selected one of the three-band equalizer settings (i.e., a setting stored in EQ1 to 5).

EQ Condition submenu

After selecting one of the parametric equalizer settings in Parametric EQ1 to 3 and EQ FLAT through the EQ BANK submenu, you can check the level, frequency, and slope of each band.

The EQ Condition submenu can be accessed only after you have selected one of the parametric equalizer patterns (i.e., a setting stored in Parametric EQ1 to 3 and EQ FLAT).

Note that you can check, but can’t change the parameters using the receiver. You can change the parametric equalizer settings only from a personal computer, etc., connected through the i.LINK network.

EQ Memory submenu

After adjusting the bass, midrange, or treble parameter of a three-band equalizer setting, you can store the changed setting to EQ1 to 5 with the EQ Memory submenu.

SP. Balance submenu

Use this submenu to adjust the speaker balance.
