Setting the MX Mode

MX (Media Xpander) makes vocals or instruments sound distinct regardless of the music source. The radio, CD, and MP3, will be able to reproduce the music clearly even in cars with a lot of road noise.

1Press the MX button to select MX ON.

2Press the SOURCE/POWER button to select the source you want to MX (Media Xpander)-correct.

3Press and hold the MX button for at least 2 seconds to select the MX mode.

4Turn the Rotary encoder to select your preferred mode or OFF.

FM (MX level 1 to 3):

The medium to high frequencies become more clear, and produces well balanced sound in all the bands. 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. MP3/WMA/XM (MX level 1 to 3):

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

DVD (or Video CD):

•(MOVIE MX level 1 to 2)

The dialog portion of the video is reproduced more clearly.

•(MUSIC MX level 1):

This disk 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 (MP3, MUSIC, or MOVIE) that corresponds to the media connected.

If two external devices are connected, the MX mode of each media can be selected.

5After setting, press the Rotary encoder to return to the normal mode.

NOTES

•By "Setting the External Input Defeat Mode" (page 12) to ON, operation is bypassed.

•To cancel MX mode for all music sources, press the MX button to turn MX off.

•MX mode is automatically canceled if no buttons are pressed within 15 seconds.

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

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

•Setting to MX OFF makes MX mode of each music source OFF.

•This function is inoperable when DEFEAT is ON.

•There is no MX mode for AM radio.

•If an audio processor with the MX function (PXA-H700, 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.
