The number of controls in the Speaker Equalizer depends on the speaker configuration 
setting. The illustration below shows the controls for the 5.1 speaker configuration. 
The first row of controls corresponds to the Front L/R speakers, the second row to the 
Surround L/R speakers and the left half of the third row corresponds to the Center/Sub 
speakers. Each set of speaker controls includes volume and equalizer settings, except for 
Sub, which does not have equalizer controls since it only passes low frequency signals.  

Speaker Equalizer for 5.1 speaker configuration 

 
Lock: The top button between each set of volume controls locks the L/R volume controls 
when lit, allowing them to be raised or lowered together. 
Mute: The bottom button between each set of volume controls mutes the left and right 
speakers when lit. This is convenient while adjusting the controls on one set of speakers 
when you don’t want to hear the other speakers. 
Volume: Each speaker has its own volume control, which is identical to the setting in the 
Speaker Tab. 
Environments: The Front and Surround speakers have individual sliders for controlling the 
environment effect. This is identical to the Environments setting in the Effects Tab. 

The Equalizer Presets section, located at the bottom right of the panel, lets you assign the 
User Defined presets from the Master Equalizer Tab to any of the equalizers in the Speaker 
Control Panel.  
To assign a preset to any of the equalizers, first select the preset from the pull-down menu. 
Next, press the buttons under the preset pull-down menu that correspond to the equalizer 
you’d like to set to the selected preset. Any button that is lit will assign the preset to the 
corresponding equalizer.
