Recalling equaliser curves
There are seven stored equaliser curves that
you can easily recall at any time. Here is a
list of the equaliser curves:
Equaliser curve
S.Bass
is a curve in which only low-pitched
sound is boosted.
Powerful
is a curve in which low- and high-
pitched sounds are boosted.
Natural
is a curve in which low- and high-
pitched sounds are slightly boosted.
Vocal
is a curve in which the midrange,
which is the human vocal range, is boosted.
Flat
is a flat curve in which nothing is
boosted.
Custom1
is an adjusted equaliser curve
that you create. If you select this curve, the
effect is applied to all AV sources.
Custom2
is an adjusted equaliser curve
that you create. If you select this curve, the
effect is applied to all AV sources.
p
The default setting is “
Powerful
”.
