Parametric Equalizer Adjustments
The frequency bands of the graphic equalizer are fixed. This makes it
very difficult to correct for undesired peaks and dips at specific
frequencies. The parametric equalizer’s centre frequency can be tuned
to these specific frequencies. Then, the bandwidth (Q) and level are
fine-tuned, independently, to make the necessary corrections. The
parametric equalizer function is an advanced tool for serious
audiophiles.
1
Check that Defeat mode is off (page 20) and P.EQ is
selected in “Setting User’s EQ mode” (page 21).

• When the speaker is set to the “OFF” mode, the parametric
equalizer for that speaker cannot be set. Refer to “Setting the
Speakers” (page 46).
• It is not possible to adjust the frequencies of adjacent bands within
7 steps.
• Check the playable frequency ranges of the connected speakers
before making the equalizer adjustments. If the speaker’s playable
frequency range is 55 Hz to 30 kHz, for example, adjusting the
40 Hz or 20 Hz band has no effect. Additionally, you may overload
and damage the speakers.
• When the parametric EQ is adjusted, the adjustment for graphic
EQ becomes ineffective.
• When the setting is complete, it is recommended to store the setting
contents. For storing, refer to page 53.

Speaker Setup
The PXA-H700 or PXA-H701 can be set according to the playable
frequency range of your speakers.
Check the playable frequency range of the speakers (not including the
subwoofer) before performing this operation to verify whether the
speakers can play low frequencies (of about 80 Hz or less).
• Avoid stopping, pausing, switching the disc, cueing, fast-
forwarding or switching the audio channel of this unit while
making this adjustment. The setting is cancelled if Decode mode is
switched.
