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.
