Setting the MX Mode
MX (Media Xpander) makes vocals or instruments
sound distinct regardless of the music source. The radio,
CD, and MP3, will be able to reproduce the music
clearly even in cars with a lot of road noise.
1
Press the
MX
button to select MX ON.
2
Press the
SOURCE/POWER
button to select the
source you want to MX (Media Xpander)-correct.
3
Press and hold the
MX
button for at least 2 seconds to
select the MX mode.

Turn the
Rotary encoder
to select your preferred
mode or OFF.
FM (MX level 1 to 3):
The medium to high frequencies become more clear,
and produces well balanced sound in all the bands.
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.
MP3/WMA/XM (MX level 1 to 3):
This corrects information that was omitted at the time
of compression. This reproduces a well-balanced
sound close to the original.
DVD (or Video CD):
•
(MOVIE MX level 1 to 2)
The dialog portion of the video is reproduced more
clearly.
•
(MUSIC MX level 1):
This disk 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 (MP3, MUSIC, or MOVIE) that
corresponds to the media connected.
If two external devices are connected, the MX mode of
each media can be selected.

NOTES
•
By "Setting the External Input Defeat Mode" (page 12) to ON,
operation is bypassed.
•
To cancel MX mode for all music sources, press the MX
button to turn MX off.
•
MX mode is automatically canceled if no buttons are pressed
within 15 seconds.
•
Each music source, such as radio, CD, and MP3 can have its
own MX setting.
•
On disks with both MP3 and CD-DA, when the source
changes from “MP3 to CD-DA” or “CD-DA to MP3”, the
MX-mode switching process may delay playback slightly.
•
Setting to MX OFF makes MX mode of each music source
OFF.
•
This function is inoperable when DEFEAT is ON.
•
There is no MX mode for AM radio.
•
If an audio processor with the MX function (PXA-H700, 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.
Blackout Mode On and Off
When the Blackout mode is turned on, the display will
turn off to reduce power consumption.
This additional power enhances the sound quality.

display will turn off.
NOTE
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.
To cancel the blackout mode, press and hold the
B.OUT
button for at least 3 seconds.
