Adjusting the 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 that is common for all
sources can be created.
! The center speaker largely determines the
sound image and getting the balance right
is not easy. We recommend that you first
adjust the balance among all of the speak-
ers except the center speaker, by playing 2-
channel audio (a CD, for example). Then,
play 5.1-channel audio (Dolby Digital or
DTS) and adjust the center speaker output
to match the balance already created
among the other speakers.
