Folder

MP3/WMA/AAC File

Terminology

Bit rate

This is the sound compression rate specified for encoding. The higher the bit rate, the higher the sound quality, but also the larger the files.

Sampling rate

This value shows how many times per second the data is sampled (recorded). For example, music CDs use a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz, so the sound is sampled (recorded) 44,100 times per second. The higher the sampling rate, the higher the sound quality, but also the larger the volume of data.

Encoding

Converting music CDs, WAVE (AIFF) files, and other sound files into the specified audio compression format.
Song information such as track titles, artist names, album names, etc., written into MP3/WMA/AAC files.

Root folder

The root folder is found at the top of the file system. The root folder contains all folders and files.
Turn the Center Jog Dial to select the desired mode, and press ENT.
FM (Level 1 to 3, Non Effect): The medium to high frequencies become clearer, and produces well balanced sound at all frequencies. CD (Level 1 to 3, Non Effect): 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/AAC/Bluetooth Audio (Level 1 to 3, Non Effect): This corrects information that was lost at the time of compression. This reproduces a well-balanced sound close to the original. DVD (Video CD) (Level 1 to 2 (MOVIE), Non Effect): The dialogue portion of a video is reproduced more clearly. (Level 3 (MUSIC), Non Effect): 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 (Level 1 (MP3/WMA/AAC), Level 2 (MOVIE), Level 3 (MUSIC), Non Effect): Choose the MX mode (MP3/WMA/AAC, MUSIC, or MOVIE) that corresponds to the media connected. If two external devices are connected, a different MX mode for each media can be selected.

BACK AUDIO

Adjusting Bass/Treble/Balance (Between Left and Right)/Fader (Between Front and Rear)
Press AUDIO repeatedly to choose the desired mode.
Each press changes the mode as follows:
Subwoofer*1 Bass Volume Subwoofer Treble Balance Fader
Subwoofer: 00 ~ 15 Bass level: 7 ~ +7 Treble level: 7 ~ +7 Balance: Left15 ~ Right15 Fader: Rear15 ~ Front15
Press and hold BACK for at least 2 seconds.
The unit returns to normal mode.
If AUDIO is not pressed for 15 seconds after selecting the Subwoofer, Bass, Treble, Balance or Fader mode, the unit automatically returns to normal mode. *1 When the subwoofer mode is set to OFF, its level cannot be adjusted.

Turn the Center Jog Dial until the desired sound is obtained in each mode.
Depending on the connected devices, some functions and display indications do not work.

Setting the MX mode

MX (Media Xpander) makes vocals or instruments sound distinct regardless of the music source. The FM radio, CD, and MP3/WMA/ AAC, will be able to reproduce the music clearly even in cars with a lot of road noise.
To cancel MX mode for all music sources, set MX to Off in step 3. Each music source, such as FM radio, CD, and MP3/WMA/AAC can have its own MX setting. 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 MX Off sets MX mode of each music source to Off. There is no MX mode for MW, 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 Owners Manual of the audio processor. If BACK is pressed during setting, the unit returns to the previous item.
