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. 1 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.
