   Rockbox features a parametric equalizer. As the name suggests, a parametric
   equalizer lets you control several different parameters for each band of the
   equalizer. Rockbox's parametric EQ is composed of five different EQ bands:
-  \begin{description}
-  \item[Band 0:  Low shelf filter.] A low shelf filter boosts or lowers all
-    frequencies below the designated cutoff point. The ``bass''control on
-    most home or car stereos is an example of a low shelf filter. The low shelf
-    filter in Rockbox is more flexible than a simple ``bass'' control, because
-    a simple bass control only lets you adjust the amount of gain that is
-    applied. Rockbox lets you control the amount of gain that is applied
-    (i.e., the amount that the bass is boosted or cut) too, but Rockbox also
-    allows you to adjust the ``cutoff'' frequency where the shelving starts
-    to take effect. For example, a cutoff frequency of 50 Hz will adjust only
-    very low frequencies. A cutoff frequency of 200 Hz, on the other hand,
-    will adjust a much wider range of bass frequencies.
-  \item[Bands 1-3: Peaking filters.]
-    Peaking EQ filters boost or low a center frequency that you select, as
-    well as the frequencies within a certain distance of that center. Graphic
-    equalizers in home stereos are usually peaking filters. The peaking EQs
-    on Rockbox's parametric equalizer let you adjust three different
-    parameters for each EQ band 1 through 3.  The ``center'' parameter
-    controls the center frequency that is adjusted by that EQ band. The
-    ``gain'' parameter controls how much each band is adjusted. Positive
-    numbers make the EQ band louder, while negative numbers make that EQ band
-    quieter. Finally, the ``Q'' parameter controls how wide or narrow each EQ
-    band is. Higher Q values will affect a narrow band of frequencies, while
-    lower EQ values will affect a wider band of frequencies.
-  \item[Band 4: High shelf filter.]
-    A high shelf filter boosts or lowers all frequencies above a designated
-    cutoff point. The ``treble'' control on most home or car stereos is an
-    example of a high shelf filter. The high shelf filter is adjusted the
-    same way as the low shelf filter, except that it works on the high end
-    of the frequency spectrum rather than the low end.

   So, as a general guide, EQ band 0 should be used for lows, EQ bands 1 
   through 3 should be used for mids, and EQ band 4 should be used for highs.

+  \item[Pre-cut:]
+  If too much gain is added through the graphical EQ, your music may distort. 
+  The \setting{Precut} setting allows you to adjust the overall gain of the EQ. 
+  If your music distorts when using the EQ, trying changing this setting to a 
+  negative value.
+
+        \item[Simple EQ:]       
+        This option provides an easier alternative for those who are daunted by all of 
+        the parameters that can be adjusted using the graphical EQ.  With the 
+        \setting{Simple EQ}, the only parameter that can be adjusted is the gain.
+
+        \item[Advanced EQ:]
+        This submenu provides options for adjusting the same parameters as the 
+        \setting{Graphical EQ}.  The only difference is that the parameters are 
+        adjusted through textual menus rather than through a graphic interface.
+        
+        \item[Save EQ Preset:]
+        This option saves the current EQ configuration in a \fname{.cfg} file.
+        
+        \item[Browse EQ Presets:]
+        This menu displays a list EQ presets, as well as any EQ configurations saved 
+        using the \setting{Save EQ Preset} option.  Users unfamiliar with the 
+        operation of a parametric EQ may wish to use the presets instead of trying to 
+        configure the EQ, or use the presets for designing their own custom EQ 
+        settings.

+\section{Hardware EQ}
+
+        This function controls the EQ that is built into the hardware of your 
+        \playerman{}.  The hardware EQ functions similarly to the Graphical EQ in that 
+        it allows adjustmnet of several parameters.  However, unlike the Graphical EQ, 
+        the Hardware EQ allows the user to choose from a limited number of settings 
+        for ``Center Frequency'' and ``Bandwidth'' (``Bandwidth'' in the Hardware EQ 
+        is similar to ``Q'' in the Graphical EQ).
+        
+        \note{While the \setting{Hardware EQ} menu shows Low Shelf, three peaking 
+        filters, and High Shelf, the peaking filters are not currently operational.}
