Adjusting 3-band parametric equalizer

For

Custom1 and Custom2 equalizer curves,

you can adjust the front, rear and center
equalizer curves separately by selecting a cen-
ter frequency, an equalizer level and a Q factor
for each band.
! A separate Custom1 curve can be created

for each source.

! A Custom2 curve can be created common

to all sources.

! The center speaker largely determines the

sound image and getting the balance right
isn

’t easy. We recommend reproducing a 2-

ch. audio (a CD for example) and getting
the balance right among the speakers ex-
cept for the center, and then reproducing a
5.1-ch. audio (Dolby Digital or DTS) and ad-
justing the center speaker output to the
balance you have already got among the
other speakers.
