Setting MX Plus (Ai-NET Mode)

MX (Media Xpander) Plus enhances the vocal and instrumental sounds for music sources such as radio/CD/MP3, by generating harmonics lost during digital processing. This high frequency compensation adds clarity and detail normally lost to road noise.

This feature becomes enabled when an Ai-NET compatible head unit with MX Plus linking function is connected. If MX Plus mode is set for each source beforehand, it automatically switches according to the music source of the head unit.

When a head unit with the MX Plus linking function, such as INA- W910, is connected, it should be set to Ai-NET mode. Other head units should be set in the Standalone mode.

FM (Level 1 to 3, OFF):

The medium to high frequencies become clearer, and produces well balanced sound at all frequencies.

CD (Level 1 to 3, OFF):

CD mode processes a large amount of data during playback. MX Plus takes advantage of this large data quantity to reproduce a more clear, clean output.

Compressed Data/Digital Radio (Level 1 to 3, OFF):

This corrects information that was lost at the time of compression. This reproduces a well-balanced sound close to the original.

DVD (Cinema, Action, Music, OFF):

Movie dialogue is clearly reproduced. Action movies are reproduced with more powerful sound.

Action:

Action movies are reproduced with more powerful sound.

Lower register sounds (drums, bass, etc.) and vocals are emphasized for clean and clear output.
