Listening Mode Menu Option & Parameter Descriptions
(continued from page 5-29)
CUSTOM VS PRESET
Allows comparison listening to the custom and factory-default
versions of the selected listening mode. When PRESET is selected,
the listening mode is heard in its factory-default condition – as if all
parameters had been restored to their factory-default settings. No
parameter settings are affected when this option is selected. The
listening mode will revert to its modified condition when the
CUSTOM VS PRESET option is closed.
When CUSTOM is selected, the listening mode is heard in its
custom condition – with all of its current parameter settings. The
CUSTOM option is available even when no parameter settings have
been adjusted. However, the PRESET and CUSTOM options will
sound identical until adjustments are made.
To toggle between the factory-default and modified versions of
the selected listening mode:
1. Follow the CUSTOM VS PRESET menu path to open the
CUSTOM VS PRESET drop-down menu.
2. When the CUSTOM VS PRESET drop-down menu opens, press
the Menu and arrows to toggle between the PRESET
(factory-default) and CUSTOM (customized) versions of the
selected listening mode.
3. When finished, press the Menu arrow to close the CUSTOM
VS PRESET menu.
4. Press the Menu arrow to close the CUSTOM menu and
return to the listening mode menu.
