9. CINEMA EQ
Use this feature to match the tonal quality of four groups of speakers: the Main and Center speaker group, the Front Effect speakers group,
the Rear speakers group, and the Rear Center speaker group. CINEMA-EQ consists of a high-shelving equalizer (HIGH) and a parametric
equalizer (PEQ). The high-shelving equalizer changes high frequency characteristics, and the parametric equalizer boosts or cuts any selected
frequency. The equalizer can be used for a variety of purposes, such as adjusting the tonal quality of differing types of speakers, adjusting the
tonal quality in different installation environments, or adjusting the source sound to your liking.
The CINEMA EQ characteristic charts below show the value of the CINEMA EQ factory settings for each speaker group for general
listening conditions.
If you want to change the characteristics, follow the procedure below to adjust the frequency and gain for the high-shelving equalizer (HIGH)
and parametric equalizer (PEQ). For the more detailed characteristics in different settings, see “CINEMA-EQ Frequency Characteristics” on
page 87.
