Marantz SR5012 Owner's Manual

Compressed audio formats such as MP3, WMA (Windows Media Audio)

and MPEG-4 AAC reduce the amount of data by eliminating signal

components that are hard for the human ear to hear. The “M-DAX”

function generates the signals eliminated upon compression, restoring the

sound to conditions near those of the original sound before compression.

It also restores the original bass characteristics for a rich and expanded

tonal range.
