Setting the MX Level

MX (MEDIAXPANDER) makes vocals or instruments sound distinct regardless of the music source. The FM radio, CD, USB memory and iPhone/iPod, will be able to reproduce the music clearly even in cars with a lot of road noise.

Changing the source to which you want to apply Media Xpander.

FM (MX level 1 to 3):

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

CD (MX level 1 to 3):

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.

CMPM/SAT (MX level 1 to 3):

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

DVD (Video CD) (MOVIE MX level 1 to 2):

The dialogue portion of a video is reproduced more clearly.

(DVD MUSIC):

A DVD or Video CD contains a large quantity of data such as music clip. MX uses this data to reproduce the sound accurately.

AUX (MX level 1):

Choose the MX mode (CMPM, MOVIE, or MUSIC) that corresponds to the media connected.

•Each music source, such as FM radio, CD, and MP3/WMA/AAC can have its own MX setting.

•On disks with both MP3/WMA/AAC and CD-DA, when the source changes from “MP3/WMA/AAC to CD-DA” or “CD-DA to MP3/WMA/AAC”, MX-mode switching may delay playback slightly.

•Setting to EFFECT OFF sets MX mode of each music source to OFF.

•The function is inoperable when DEFEAT is set to ON.

•There is no MX mode for AM radio.

•If an audio processor with the MX function (PXA-H701, etc.) is connected, its own MX processing is applied to the music source. Since the processor MX settings may not match the head unit, the audio processor needs to be adjusted. For details, refer to the Owner’s Manual of the audio processor.

•“CMPM” is applied for MP3/WMA/AAC and iPhone/iPod.

•“SAT”is applied for XM radio and SIRIUS radio.

Setting EQ mode

This setting gives you a choice of 5-band parametric, or 7-band graphic equalizer.

PARAMETER EQ (Initial setting) GRAPHIC EQ

PEQ: 5-band Parametric EQ

GEQ: 7-band Graphic EQ

Setting the Time Correction Unit (T.CORR PARA)

You can change the unit, (cm or inch) of time correction.

CM (Initial setting) INCH

Sound Field Adjustment (SOUND ADJUST)

The setting of PARAMETER EQ/GRAPHIC EQ, T.CORRECTION and CROSSOVER can be adjusted in this mode.

Adjusting the Parametric Equalizer Curve

You can modify the Equalizer settings to create a response curve more appealing to your personal taste. To adjust the Parametric Equalizer Curve, set the EQ MODE to PARAMETER EQ. For details, refer to “Setting EQ mode” (page 29).
