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 31), as speaker damage may result.

When the Media Xpander is on, you can adjust the Media Xpander level
(refer to page 30).

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

PEQ: 5-band Parametric EQ
GEQ: 7-band Graphic EQ
You can change the unit, (cm or inch) of time correction.

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, after 5 seconds 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.
The setting of Parametric EQ/Graphic EQ Adjustment, Time Correction
and X-Over can be adjusted in this mode.
Adjusting the Parametric Equalizer Curve
You can modify the Equalizer settings to create a response curve more
appealing to your personal taste. To adjust the Parametric Equalizer
Curve, set the EQ mode to Parametric EQ. For details, refer to “Setting
EQ mode” (page 30).
Setting the Response Slope for the High
Range Speaker (TW Setup)
