of road noise.
Changing the source to which you want to apply Media
Xpander.

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.
