MX settings

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.

1When “Auto” has been set as the MX mode setting (see page 27) while using the PXA- H701 in combination with an Ai-NET head unit equipped with an automatic MX mode selection function (IVA-D300 series, etc.). In this case, the MX mode is selected automatically according to the music source on the head unit. The MX mode can be set from the PXA-H701 using the operation described below.

1 Press the MX button to set the MX setting mode.

2 In case of “MX OFF”, press and hold the MX button for at least 2 seconds to turn the MX mode on.

3 Turn the Rotary encoder to select the desired mode, then press the ENTER button.

•When “OFF” is selected, the MX effect is turned off.

•The level for the currently selected music source (radio, CD, etc.) can be adjusted.

FM: MX1 to 3 and OFF

The medium to high frequencies become more clear, and produces well balanced sound in all the bands.

CD: MX1 to 3 and OFF

CD mode processes a large quantity of data. This data is used to reproduce the sound cleanly by making use of the data quantity.

MP3/DAB: MX1 to 3 and OFF

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

DVD/Video CD: MOVIE MX 1~2, MUSIC, OFF MOVIE MX 1~2: The dialogues of movies are played with greater clarity.
