Fill in some volume/bass/treble values for some targets. Shorten the EQ section a bit and stop using a table for describing the bands, since that wastes a ton of space.

-        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.\\

-        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 Q values will affect
-        a wider band of frequencies.\\

+  Rockbox's parametric EQ is composed of five different bands:
+  \begin{description}
+  \item[Band 0: Low shelf filter]
+        The low shelf filter boosts or lowers all frequencies below a certain
+        frequency limit, much like what a ``bass'' control found on ordinary
+        stereo systems does.
+        Adjust the ``cutoff'' frequency parameter to decide 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.
+        The ``gain'' parameter controls how much the loudness of the band is
+        adjusted. Positive numbers make the EQ band louder, while negative
+        numbers make that EQ band quieter.
+        The ``Q'' parameter should always be set to 0.7 for the shelving
+        filters. Higher values will add a small boost around the cutoff
+        frequency that is almost always undesirable.
+  \item[Bands 1-3: Peaking filters]
+        Peaking EQ filters boost or lower a frequency range centered at the
+        center frequency chosen.
+        Graphic equalizers in home stereos are usually peaking
+        filters. The peaking filters in Rockbox's EQ lets you adjust three
+        different parameters for EQ bands 1 through 3. The ``center'' parameter
+        controls the center frequency of the frequency range that is affected
+        as described above.
+        The ``gain'' parameter controls how much each band is adjusted, and
+        works as for the low shelf filter.
+        Finally, the ``Q'' parameter controls how wide or narrow the affected
+        frequency range is. Higher Q values will affect a narrower band of
+        frequencies, while lower Q 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 certain
+        frequency limit, much like what a ``treble'' control found on ordinary
+        stereo systems does.
+        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.
+  \end{description}
+  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.
