is adjusted to produce a cohesive sound field based on
automatically measured speaker characteristics.
In "EQ Type," you can select the following
parametric equalizer characteristics suitable for the
desired sound characteristics.
Natural
Adjusts all speakers to achieve natural sound. Select
this if sounds in the high frequency range seem too
strong when "EQ Type" is set to "Flat."
Flat
Adjusts each speaker to obtain the same
characteristics. Select this if your speakers have
similar qualities.
Front
Adjusts each speaker to obtain the same
characteristics as the front left and right speakers.
Select this if your front left and right speakers have
significantly better qualities than the other speakers.
