equalizer characteristics suitable for the desired
sound characteristics.
Natural
This adjusts all speakers to achieve natural sound.
Select this if sounds in the high frequency range seem
too strong when “EQ” is set to “Flat.”
Flat
This adjusts each speaker to obtain the same
characteristics. Select this if your speakers have
similar qualities.
Front
This adjusts each speaker to obtain the same
characteristics as the front left and right speakers.
Select this if your front left and right speakers have
