SET MENU ITEMS

6 CINEMA EQ

Use this feature to match the tonal quality of four groups of speakers: the main and center speaker group, the front effect speakers group, the
rear speakers group, and the rear center speaker group. CINEMA-EQ consists of a high-shelving equalizer (HIGH) and a parametric
equalizer (PEQ). The high-shelving equalizer changes high frequency characteristics, and the parametric equalizer boosts or cuts any selected
frequency. The equalizer can be used for a variety of purposes, such as adjusting the tonal quality of differing types of speakers, adjusting the
tonal quality in different installation environments, or adjusting the source sound to your liking.
I 6A L, C, R EQ (main L/center/main R equalizer)
Use this feature to adjust the tonal quality of the main L/R and center channels.
