If you selected "Manual", continue with this procedure. 1 Press X to select "Channel", and then use F/ S to select a speaker. 2 Use R/X to select a frequency, and then use the F/S to adjust the level at that frequency. The volume at each frequency can be adjusted from -6dB to 0dB to +6dB in 1 dB steps. Note • You can select: "63Hz", "160Hz", "400Hz", "1000Hz", "2500Hz", "6300Hz", or "16000Hz". And for the subwoofer, "25Hz", "40Hz", "63Hz", "100Hz", or "160Hz". • While the Direct or Pure Audio listening mode is selected, the equalizer settings have no effect. Tip • Low frequencies (e.g., 63Hz) affect bass sounds; high frequencies (e.g., 16000Hz) affect treble sounds. 3 Use R to select "Channel", and then use F/S to select another speaker. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for each speaker. You cannot select speakers that you set to "No" or "None" in the "Speaker Configuration" (➔ 51). ` Audyssey: This is selected automatically by Audyssey MultEQ XT32 Room Correction and Speaker Setup function. The Audyssey indicator will light (➔ 9) and "Dynamic EQ" and "Dynamic Volume" become available (➔ 57). When "Audyssey" is selected, "Dolby Volume" becomes "Off" automatically (➔ 55). ` Off: Tone off, response flat. En 53
