• When the speaker is set to the "OFF" mode, the graphic equalizer
for that speaker cannot be set. Refer to "Setting the Speakers"
(page 43).
• Check the playable frequency ranges of the connected speakers
before making the equalizer adjustments. If the speaker's playable
frequency range is 55 Hz to 30 kHz, for example, adjusting the 40 Hz
or 20 Hz band has no effect. Additionally, you may overload and
damage the speakers.
• When graphic EQ is adjusted, the adjustment for parametric EQ
becomes ineffective.

Parametric Equalizer Adjustments

The frequency bands of the graphic equalizer are fixed. This makes it
very difficult to correct for undesired peaks and dips at specific
frequencies. The parametric equalizer's center frequency can be tuned
to these specific frequencies. Then, the bandwidth (Q) and level are
fine-tuned, independently, to make the necessary corrections. The
parametric equalizer function is an advanced tool for serious
audiophiles.
