How do I use the EQ? Is it possible to adjust the EQ while actually listening to music?

Welcome to the day and age of "ultimate configurability"... There are some receivers, though not the 1020, that you can listen while adjusting(Pioneer doesn't include that till you buy an Elite). Once receivers went from an EQ that controlled all, to controlling each individually...you gain ability, but lost "easy". You shouldn't, really, be messing with the EQ, unless you have one of these... http://www.amazon.com/Scosche-SPL1000F-135DB-Max-Meter/dp/B001CMKFH8/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1296083267&sr=1-1 (not necessarily this one...) And some form is sine wave sweep(you can find one online)

I love my music loud as well. I have my iPhone volume up to about halfway between the middle and the loudest and you can't hear anything besides the music. No outer interference or anything. It's like you're in your own little world of music. Bass is pretty good as well in my opinion.

No bass control on the Twenty. However, you can use the EQ on your iphone to adjust sound quality if you play music from it using AirPlay.

It all depends on your taste in music and wether you like to tamper with the EQ in your music player. Play some Skrillex with your ATH M50s.. See how your ears vibrate? Well, that won't happen with the HM5s, BUT.. You will be able to hear the bass all the way down. You can also tune the bass to your liking if you chose to modify the EQ settings.

No the eq is pretty basic. The speaker settings are also basic. It does good and the Internet features work well. Oh and the Yamaha iOS and Android app works well to

No - the EQ is Fixed. 2 rca plugs in and 2 out and that's it. BTW are you related to Richard Dyer-Bennet the Folk Music Performer/Archivist? I can understand why you might have some 78's to play. ND

Let me recant that last statement as after extended listening tests, I've determined that line out is "bright" and a bit harsher sounding than headphone out(with bass and treble set to 0)so I use headphone out. I was surprised by this as line out should bypass amp and tone controls, go through less electronics and should be a "purer" signal. But it really does sound better(to me)through headphone out so I now only use that.

No, you can only adjust the bass by turning the on/off switch, which is located at the back of the subwoofer. There is no way to adjust the treble. If you download a graphic equalizer, you would then be able to adjust the treble and other sounds the way you like.

Yes. There is a custom EQ. Ranges are 80, 250, 1k, 4k, 13k HZ. With DB +12 to -12.

The result is definitely different than an EQ. The bass channel is more like an overdrive that doesn't clip (hard to describe it's not distortion) and the high-end is this subtle octave harmonizer. I was very impressed with the inprovement on early 90's gangsta rap that sounds muddy. We use it for our live electronic band to make our sound less muddy and it's really be a big help. I'm not sure it would make a different on the latest music releases though.

Play with the audio settings. There are quite a few. Default settings sound poor (hollow,low volume) but can be adjusted to more than adequate. Cant remember orig settings, but can give you my AUDIO setup config:SRS TruSurround HD <Off>SRS TruVolume <On>Equalizer Settings <OFF> *important* Base <75>Treble <50>Make sure the EQ setting is not set to Rock, Pop or Disco (they sound like garbage). Setting it to OFF allows access to Base & Treble menu/adjustments. Overall the sound is above average for what you are paying. More than ample volume once you get the settings tweaked.

Yes you can, be prepared that you can't adjust volume with your player, but the music plays loud enough through headphones. I found it useful when my Ipod Jack starting acting "funky" It is essentially a stereo line out connector for connecting to say, aux inputs of a stereo of other stereo source, and headphones are well, stereo. Works well when stationary. I've notice some problems, (connector un-seating) when mobile with the Ipod, but the unit works as described and better than trying to service my ipod.

everyones answer is wrong, this system has a built-in EQ that automatically adjusts the bass even when you turn it all the way down, this is so you get the best sound no matter what but it does make it a little bad when you wanna keep things down at night and want zero bass lol. it even says it in the description "Dynamic, real-time bass equalization maximizes bass response while minimizing distortion" ive been trying to find a way to snuff the bass out at the spot where all the speakers connect but i havent figured anything out

YES absolutely !!!I use it 100% of the time with mine. And don't forget to try out the EQ.

There is an EQ for the mic and an EQ for the music. I think factory defaults are set in the middle for both.

Yes but no EQ (settings not assessable). I personally cannot stand 'flat' music so it now collects dust on my desk...

Yes you can, tapping the side buttons changes the track while holding changes the volume. I think pause/play is the front button.
