I have an older Yamaha RX A3060. I have two patterns saved. 1 "Through" mode (no Eq) 2 "Natural" mode (YPAO Engaged) With the Natural mode I have the sub bumped up a db or 2. Works pretty well for me. . You could save two patterns of Eq, I assume. Maybe copy the Natural settings to Manual, adjust the manual to you liking and save that one. Not sure if that answers your questions though.
