Adjusting 3-band parametric equalizer
For CUSTOM1 and CUSTOM2 equalizer
curves, you can adjust the front, rear and cen-
ter equalizer curves separately by selecting a
center frequency, an equalizer level and a Q
factor for each band.
! A separate CUSTOM1 curve can be cre-
ated for each source.
! A CUSTOM2 curve can be created com-
mon 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.
