can easily recall at any time. Here is a list of the
equalizer curves:

high-pitched sounds are boosted.

pitched sounds are slightly boosted.

VOCAL is a curve in which the midrange, which is
the human vocal range, is boosted.

create.

Press the EQ button to select the equal-
izer.
Press the EQ button repeatedly to switch
between the following equalizers:
POWERFUL — NATURAL — VOCAL —
CUSTOM — FLAT — SUPER BASS
❒ CUSTOM is an adjusted equalizer curve
that you create.
❒ A separate CUSTOM curve can be cre-
ated for each source. If you make adjust-
ments, the equalizer curve settings will be
memorized in CUSTOM.
❒ When FLAT is selected, no supplement or
correction is made to the sound. This is
useful to check the effect of the equalizer
curves by switching alternatively between
FLAT and a set equalizer curve.
