Turning Media Xpander ON/OFF (MX)

On / Off (Initial setting)

When the Media Xpander is on, you can adjust the Media Xpander level (refer to page 30).

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

Setting the MX Level

MX (Media Xpander) 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 (Level 1 to 3, Non Effect):

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

CD (Level 1 to 3, Non Effect):

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/AAC/iPod/Bluetooth Audio (Level 1 to 3, Non Effect):

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

DVD (Video CD)

(Level 1 to 2 (MOVIE), Non Effect):

The dialogue portion of a video is reproduced more clearly.

(Level 3 (MUSIC), Non Effect):

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 (Level 1 (MP3/WMA/AAC/iPod/Bluetooth Audio), Level 2 (MOVIE), Level 3 (MUSIC), Non Effect):

Choose the MX mode that corresponds to the media connected. If two external devices are connected, a different MX mode for each media can be selected.

•To cancel MX mode for all music sources, set MX to Off in step 4.

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

•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 MX Off sets MX mode of each music source to Off.

•There is no MX mode for AM radio.

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

Equalizer Presets (Factory’s EQ)

Flat/Pops/Rock/News/Jazz&Blues/Electric Dance/Hip Hop &Rap/Easy Listening/Country/Classical/User 1~6*

10 typical equalizer settings are preset at the factory for a variety of musical source material.

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

Setting the Response Slope for the High Range Speaker (Tweeter)

Maker’s (Initial setting) / User’s

Depending on the response characteristics of the speaker, care should be taken when setting the response slope of the high range speaker to 0 dB/ oct in 3WAY mode (see “Adjusting the Crossover Settings” on page 32), as speaker damage may result.

Maker’s: As protection from possible speaker damage, 0 dB/ oct cannot be set for the response slope of the high range speaker in 3WAY mode.

User’s: The 0 dB/oct setting is possible in 3WAY mode.

•You can set to Tweeter only when the system switch on the IMPRINT audio processor (PXA-H100) is set to 3WAY.
