OFF (Initial setting) 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 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 (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. 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. • 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 iPod. • "SAT" is applied for XM radio and SIRIUS radio.

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. TCR Parameter (Initial setting) TCR Parameter Blackout Mode On and Off When Blackout mode is turned on, all display indications on this unit will turn off to reduce power consumption. This additional power enhances the sound quality. OFF (Initial setting) ON • When Blackout mode is set to ON, in 5 seconds after returning to normal mode, all displays on the unit will turn off. • If any button on the unit is pressed during the blackout mode, the function will be displayed for 5 seconds to show the operation before returning to Blackout mode. 31-EN
