Equalizer (EQ)
This is a 4-band parametric equalizer. It lets you shape the
character of the sound by boosting or cutting four frequency
regions. The width of the frequency regions can be changed.
7
Compressor (Comp)
Audio that exceeds the specified threshold level is compressed.
This reduces the difference between the maximum volume
and minimum volume, making the audio more comfortable for
listening.
7
Limiter (Lim)
Compresses the audio so that the mixed audio does not exceed
the specified threshold level.
* Distortion will occur if audio that exceeds the allowable range
of the limiter is input.
7
15-band equalizer (15Band EQ)
This is a 15-band graphic equalizer. It lets you shape the character
of the sound by boosting or cutting each of the 15 frequency
regions into which the sound is divided.
Interlinking Audio Output to Video
Switching (Audio Follow)
Here’s how the audio output can be automatically switched in
tandem with video switching (the Audio Follow function).
The Audio Follow function applies to the audio of channels 5/6–
11/12. The video and audio are linked in the following combinations.
Channels
5/6
7/8 9/10 11/12
For example, the audio of channels 5/6 is output only when the
VIDEO INPUT SELECT [1] button is selected.
If a VIDEO INPUT SELECT button other than the [1] button is selected,
the audio is automatically muted.
1
Press the [SELECT] button of the channel whose settings
you want to change; the Audio Ch. screen appears.
2
Touch <Follow> to turn it “ON.”
Value
Explanation
ON
