Parametric Equalizer Adjustments
The frequency bands of the graphic equalizer are fixed. This makes it
very difficult to correct for undesired peaks and dips at specific
frequencies. The parametric equalizer’s centre frequency can be tuned
to these specific frequencies. Then, the bandwidth (Q) and level are
fine-tuned, independently, to make the necessary corrections. The
parametric equalizer function is an advanced tool for serious
audiophiles.
1
Check that Defeat mode is off (page 25).
2
Press and hold TA for at least 2 seconds.
The audio processor control mode is activated.
3
Select the P-EQ mode by pressing TA repeatedly.
4
Select L+R or L/R by pressing and holding BAND for
at least 2 seconds.
When graphic EQ is adjusted, this setting will be turned off.
5
Select the desired channel by pressing or ,
then press MODE.
When L+R is selected :
FRONT REAR CENTER SUBWOOFER FRONT

• The speakers display differs, depending on the connected speakers.
6
Press BAND to select the band.
7
Select the frequency by turning and then pressing
the Rotary encoder, then press MODE.
The adjustable frequency changes according the band.
8
Adjust the band width (Q) by turning the
Rotary encoder, then press MODE.
The band width is adjustable in 6 steps: 0.5/1/2/3/4/5
9
Adjust the level (LEVEL) (±9dB 1dB step) by turning
the Rotary encoder, then press MODE.
10
To adjust other bands, repeat steps 6 to 9.
11
To adjust other channels, repeat steps 5 to 10.
12
When the setting is complete, press and hold TA for
at least 2 seconds.
The unit returns to the normal mode.
• When the speaker is set to the “OFF” mode, the parametric
equalizer for that speaker cannot be set. Refer to “Setting the
Speakers” (page 37).
• It is not possible to adjust the frequencies of adjacent bands within 7
steps.
• Check the playable frequency ranges of the connected speakers
before making the equalizer adjustments. If the speaker’s playable
frequency range is 55 Hz to 30 kHz, for example, adjusting the 40 Hz
or 20 Hz band has no effect. Additionally, you may overload and
damage the speakers.
• When the parametric EQ is adjusted, the adjustment for graphic EQ
becomes ineffective.
• When the setting is complete, it is recommended to store the setting
contents. For storing, refer to page 44.
Setting Bass Compressor
You can adjust the sound of low frequencies as desired.
1
Check that Defeat mode is off (page 25).
2
Press and hold TA for at least 2 seconds.
The audio processor control mode is activated.
3
Select the BASS SOUND mode by pressing TA.
4
Select BASS COMP. by pressing or , then
press MODE.
5

Rotary encoder.
Bass sound is emphasized more as the mode is
sequentially switched as COMP1 2 3, offering you
vivid low frequencies.
Select OFF when the setting is not necessary.
6
When the setting is complete, press and hold TA for
at least 2 seconds.
The unit returns to the normal mode.
L+R: Sets the same adjustment values for the left and right
channels.
