Adjusting 3-band parametric equalizer
For
Custom1
and
Custom2
equalizer curves,
you can adjust the front, rear and center
equalizer curves separately by selecting a cen-
ter frequency, an equalizer level and a Q factor
for each band.
!
A separate
Custom1
curve can be created
for each source.
!
A
Custom2
curve can be created common
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.
