Recalling equalizer curves
There are seven stored equalizer curves which
you can easily recall at any time. Here is a list
of the equalizer curves:
Display
POWERFUL
NATURAL
VOCAL
FLAT
CUSTOM1
CUSTOM2
SUPER BASS
! CUSTOM1 and CUSTOM2 are adjusted
equalizer curves.
! When FLAT is selected no supplement or
correction is made to the sound. This is
useful to check the effect of the equalizer
curves by switching alternatively between
FLAT and a set equalizer curve.

ter equalizer curves separately by selecting a
center frequency, an equalizer level and a Q
factor for each band.
! A separate CUSTOM1 curve can be cre-
ated for each source.
! A CUSTOM2 curve can be created com-
mon 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.
