• When the speaker is set to the “OFF” mode, the parametric
equalizer for that speaker cannot be set. Refer to “Setting the
Speakers” (page 30).
• 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 37.
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.
