Setting the MX Level

MX (Media Xpander) makes vocals or instruments sound distinct
regardless of the music source. The CD, iPod, etc. will be able to
reproduce the music clearly even in cars with a lot of road noise.
 Setting item: MX SETTING
Setting contents:
* *
FM / CD / CMPM / USB / iPod / BT AUDIO / AUX
FM (LEVEL 1 to 3):
The medium to high frequencies become clearer, and produces
well balanced sound at all frequencies.
*
CD (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 clearer,
cleaner output.
*
CMPM / USB / iPod / BT AUDIO (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.
AUX (LEVEL 1 to 3):
Choose the MX mode that corresponds to the media connected.
* CDE-143EBT/CDE-143EBTTH only.
Notes
• Each music source, such as 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 LEVEL OFF 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.
