regardless of the music source. The FM radio, CD, and iPod, will be able
to reproduce the music clearly even in cars with a lot of road noise.

Setting to Non Effect sets MX mode of each music source to OFF.
There is no MX mode for AM radio.
"CMPM" is applied for MP3/WMA/AAC, Bluetooth Audio and iPod/
iPhone.
If no operation is performed for 60 seconds, Sound menu mode is
cancelled.
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.
If an audio processor with the MX function (PXA-H800, 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.
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.
