The EQ block is built into the RF AC system.
The cut-off frequencies of each filter are linked.
The cut-off frequencies are set by the external resistors connected to Pins 44 (FC CNT 1) and 45 (FC CNT 2),
the Pin 43 (FC H CNT) voltage, and Pins 34 (MODE 1) and 35 (MODE 2).
The cut-off frequencies are set according to the following two systems.
CLV mode: When Pin 34 is Low, n, 2n, 4n and 6n are set by Pins 34 and 35 based on the cut-off
frequency (fc = n) set by the external resistor connected to Pin 44.
CAV mode: When Pin 43 is VC, 0.5N to 1.5N is set by the Pin 43 voltage based on the cut-off frequency
