MX Plus level increases in the following order: 1 
2 
3.
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 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
DVD (Cinema, Action, Music, OFF):
Cinema:
Movie dialogue is clearly reproduced. Action movies are reproduced with more powerful sound.
Action:
Action movies are reproduced with more powerful sound.
Music:
Lower register sounds (drums, bass, etc.) and vocals are emphasized for clean and clear output.
AUX / Others (Compressed, Music, DVD, OFF):
MX mode suitable for the media (Compressed Data, Music, DVD) can be selected.

Setting the MX Plus (Standalone 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.
In the Standalone mode, MX Plus does not become linked with the source of the head unit. MX Plus should be set for each external input. MX Plus mode will be switched, linked with the source switching of
