MX (Media Xpander) makes vocals or instruments sound distinct
regardless of the music source. The FM radio, CD, USB Memory and
iPhone/iPod, will be able to reproduce the music clearly even in cars
with a lot of road noise.
1
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.
Use steps 1 to 4 to select one of the setting modes to modify.
See the applicable section below for details about the
selected setting item.
