Digital Signal Processor
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.
% Touch PARAMETRIC EQ on the DSP
function menu.
Note
You can select a center frequency for each band.
You can change the center frequency in 1/3-oc-
tave steps, but you cannot select frequencies that
have intervals shorter than 1 octave among the
center frequencies of the three bands.
