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. Notes • 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 Non Effect 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.  Setting item: EQ Mode Setting contents: Parametric EQ (Initial setting) / Graphic EQ PEQ: 5-band Parametric EQ GEQ: 7-band Graphic EQ Setting the Time Correction Unit (TCR Parameter) You can change the unit, (cm or inch) of time correction.  Setting item: TCR Parameter Setting contents: cm (Initial setting) / inch Sound Field Adjustment The setting of Parametric EQ/Graphic EQ and Time Correction 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 Parametric EQ. For details, refer to "Setting EQ mode" on page 17. 1 After selecting Parametric EQ from the Sound Field mode, press BAND to select the band to be adjusted.

L = (distance to farthest speaker) - (distance to other speakers) 3 Repeat steps 1 and 2 to set another speaker. By setting these values to make its sound reach the listening position at the same time as the sound of other speakers. 17-EN
