By selecting User’s 1 to 6, you can recall the stored preset number in 
“Adjusting the Graphic Equalizer Curve” (page 32) or “Adjusting 
the Parametric Equalizer Curve” (page 32)
 .

Depending on the response characteristics of the speaker, care should be 
taken when setting the response slope of the high range speaker to 
FLAT in 2.2ch (3WAY) mode (see “Adjusting the Crossover Settings” 
on page 32
), as speaker damage may result.

MAKER’S (Initial setting ) 

 USER’S

NORMAL (Initial setting) 

 INDIVIDUAL

When the Media Xpander is on, you can adjust the Media Xpander level 
(refer to page 31).

OFF (Initial setting) 

 ON

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.

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.

This setting gives you a choice of 5-band parametric, or 7-band graphic 
equalizer.

Parametric EQ (Initial setting) 

 Graphic EQ

PEQ:

 5-band Parametric EQ

GEQ:

 7-band Graphic EQ

You can change the unit, (cm or inch) of time correction.

TCR Parameter<cm> (Initial setting) 

 TCR Parameter<inch>

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.
