Tone Setup (continued)
Registering the desired tone setups (MANUAL EQ)
The system incorporates a high-grade, 7-band equalizer covering heavy bass to ultrahigh treble frequencies. You can
create desired tone response curves and preset up to three of them (USER 1 to 3) in the user memory.
* Press the SETUP key to select [SOUND SETUP] in advance. (See page 62.)

Increasing this level reproduces the low-frequency instruments such as the bass and bass drum
in a heavy, stable tone. If very low frequencies are too noticeable during listening, decrease this
level to an appropriate level.
With Japanese-style houses that are less tightly close to European-style houses, the resonant frequency
of the listening room is often located in this band, so the low frequencies tend to be exaggerated. In this
case, it is often recommended to decrease this level to reduce resonance in the listening room.
This band is the basis of music and determines the richness of music. If the audio is felt poor, it is
recommended to increase this level slightly to enrich the sound.
This band affects most the music featuring the vocal, either enhancing or attenuating the feeling
of presence of the vocal according to its level. It is also associated with the depth of music.
When increased, this band makes the sound more stimulating, metallic or hard. It can express the
freshness or brightness if adjusted properly, but may also make the sound felt loud.
This band effects the image of music such as the hardness or softness. Increasing its level enriches
the sounds of strings (violin, etc.) or wind instruments (flute, piccolo, etc.), but decreasing its level
makes these sounds rather quiet.
This band affects the expansion and delicacy of sound. Increasing its level represents the ultrahigh-frequency
instruments (triangle, cymbal, etc.) brilliant at the same time as increasing the expansion and delicacy of their sounds.
