9. CINEMA EQ

Use this feature to match the tonal quality of four groups of speakers: the Main and Center speaker group, the Front Effect speakers group, the Rear speakers group, and the Rear Center speaker group. CINEMA-EQ consists of a high-shelving equalizer (HIGH) and a parametric equalizer (PEQ). The high-shelving equalizer changes high frequency characteristics, and the parametric equalizer boosts or cuts any selected frequency. The equalizer can be used for a variety of purposes, such as adjusting the tonal quality of differing types of speakers, adjusting the tonal quality in different installation environments, or adjusting the source sound to your liking.

The CINEMA EQ characteristic charts below show the value of the CINEMA EQ factory settings for each speaker group for general listening conditions.
