Select the channel you want to adjust by pressing
[CHANNEL].
L+R selected: FRONT REAR CENTER
SUBWOOFER* 1 FRONT
L or R selected: FRONT L FRONT R REAR L
REAR R CENTER SUBWOOFER* 2
FRONT L
* 1 If the Subwoofer output is set for Monaural, you can set both
SUBWOOFER 1 and 2.
* 2 If the Subwoofer output is set for Monaural, you can set
SUBWOOFER 1 and 2. If the Subwoofer output is set for Stereo, you
can set SUBWOOFER L and R.
• Channels to be set vary depending on the system set in “Setting the
Speaker System (System Select)” (page 37).
6
Select the frequency by rotating the [Rotary
encoder], and press the [Rotary encoder].
fc:
FRONT/REAR/CENTER:
20 Hz to 20kHz (in 1/3 octave steps) (1 to 31 Band)
SUBWOOFER:
20 Hz to 160 Hz (in 1/3 octave steps) (1 to 10 Band)
7
Adjust the level by rotating the [Rotary encoder], and
press the [Rotary encoder].
Level: -12 to +12 dB (in 0.5 dB steps)* 3
* 3 When ImprintEQ is enabled, 6 to +6 dB (in 0.5 dB steps)
8
To adjust another frequency, repeat Steps 6 and 7.
9
To adjust another channel, repeat Steps 5 through 8.
• You can listen with Defeat OFF (adjusted setup values) or with
Defeat ON (Initial value) to compare, by following the steps below.
1 Press and hold the [Rotary Encoder] for at least 2
seconds while in the adjustment mode.
2 Rotate the [Rotary Encoder] to switch on/off Defeat, and
listen to compare.
3 To exit, select “OFF” and then press [ ].
• You can mute the channel you are adjusting.
1 Press [MUTE] while in the adjustment mode to mute the
channel.
2 To cancel muting, press [MUTE] again.

When the setting is complete, press and hold [ ]
for at least 2 seconds.
• If [ ] is pressed during setting, the unit returns to the previous
item.
• This function is not available when Defeat is set to ON.
• When the speaker is set to the “OFF” mode, the graphic equalizer
for that speaker cannot be set. Refer to “Setting the Speaker System
(System Select)” (page 37) /“Setting the Speakers (Speaker Setup)”
(page 38).
• Check the playable frequency ranges of the connected speakers
before making 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. Moreover, you may overload and
damage the speakers.
• After the setting, it is recommended to store the setting contents on
the unit. For details, refer to “Storing the Preset Values (Preset
Store)” (page 36).
Setting the Parametric EQ
The frequency bands of the graphic equalizer are fixed. This makes it
difficult to correct for undesired peaks and dips at specific frequencies.
The parametric equalizer’s center frequency can be tuned to these
specific frequencies. The bandwidth (Q) and level are then fine-tuned
independently, to make the necessary corrections. The parametric
equalizer function is an advanced tool for serious audiophiles.
• Set “Setting the Equalizer Mode (EQ Mode)” on page 46 to “P.EQ.”

The P-EQ screen is displayed.
4
Press and hold [CHANNEL] for at least 2 seconds.
Rotate the [Rotary encoder] to select either “L+R” or
“L or R,” and press the [Rotary encoder].
L or R: Channels R and L can be set independently.
L+R:
Both R and L channels are set at the same value
(The initial setting).
• When you switch from “L or R” to “L+R,” choose which adjustment
of the R and L channels to be applied.
1 Select either “L R” or “R L” by rotating the [Rotary
encoder, and press the [Rotary encoder].
L R: The adjustment of the L channel is to be applied to
both R and L channels.
R L: The adjustment of the R channel is to be applied to
both R and L channels.
