Using The Auto Equalizer - Pioneer AVH-P7550DVD Operation Manual

Audio Adjustments
! The center speaker largely determines the
sound image and getting the balance right
isnt 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.
