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.

You can adjust parameters for each band of
the other speakers in the same way.
Note
You can select a center frequency for each band.
You can change the center frequency in 1/3-oc-
tave steps, but you cannot select frequencies that
have intervals shorter than 1 octave among the
center frequencies of the three bands.
Using the auto-equalizer
The auto-equalizer is the equalizer curve cre-
ated by auto TA and EQ (refer to
Auto TA and
EQ (auto-time alignment and auto-equalizing)
on the next page).
You can turn the auto-equalizer on or off.
