EQUALIZATION ‘EQ’
Selecting an EQ function via the remote control - allows you to override how the audio is currently being
processed. This is where you may set the Dynamic Range to either Normal (default) or Limited for late night
listening while using Dolby Digital bit streams.
Settings made here are intended for occasional adjustments for a particular source material. They affect all inputs
but are temporary. After turning the system off and on, the original parameters from the SETUP menus are
restored. If there are temporary settings you use often, you may wish to store them in a preset for instant recall
See PRESETS.
You may select EQ, Off ‘EQ 0”, Variable ‘EQ 1’, Loudness ‘EQ 2’ or Theater ‘EQ 3’.
The table below shows the various audio modes and how the the EQ feature may be used. Under normal usage a
user would select one of these EQs to either correct or enhance their processed audio.
Note, while in ‘DIRECT’ or ‘LtRt’ (speaker selections 8 & 9) the equalizer feature of your unit is not available and
disabled (see EQUALIZATION ‘EQ’).

* Selecting THX Audio mode disables your units equalization feature and sets your unit for use with Home THX
Cinema mode. Re-Equalization™ is used to restore the correct tonal balance for watching a movie soundtrack in a
small home theater. Timbre Matching™ is used to filter the information going to the surround speakers so that
they more closely match the tonal characteristics of the sound coming from the front speakers. This ensures
seamless panning from the front to surround speakers. If your receiver is used in a THX home theater
environment, best results during movies may be realized using the THX audio listening mode (see AUDIO
MODES, THX).
Select off ‘EQ 0’ - disables the use of any preset equalization curves or bass and treble settings. Note the notch
filter settings made under Setup Room Equalization are still in effect.
