Rotary encoder
Performing time correction manually (TCR)/Switching the phase
Because of the particular conditions inside the vehicle, there are major differences in the distances between the different speakers and the listening position. The proper time correction can be obtained using the automatic time correction function (“AUTO TCR”), but it is also possible to calculate the optimum correction values and eliminate the time error at the listening position yourself using this function. You can also use this function to switch the phase.
1.Calculating the time correction value for the front left speaker on the diagram below.
Conditions: Distance between farthest speaker and listening position: 2.25 m (88-3/4") Distance between front left speaker and listening position: 0.5 m (20") Calculation: L = 2.25 m (88-3/4") – 0.5 m (20")
= 1.75 m (68-3/4")
Compensation time = 1.75 ÷ 343 x 1000
= 5.1 (ms)
In other words, setting the time correction value for the front left speaker to 5.1 (ms) sets a virtual distance matching the distance to the farthest speaker.
5.1ms
0.5m
2.25m
1 Check that the defeat mode is off.
(See page 28.)
2 Sit in the listening position (the driver’s seat, for
example) and measure the distance (in meters) between your head and the various speakers.
3 Calculate the difference in distance between the
farthest speaker and the other speakers. L = (distance of farthest speaker)
– (distance of other speakers)
4 Divide the distances calculated for the different
speakers by the speed of sound (343 m/s temperature 20°C). This value is the time correction value for the different speakers.
8-EN
The sound is uneven because the distance between the listening position and the different speakers is different. The difference in the distance between the front left and rear right speakers is 1.75 meters (68-3/4").
Time correction eliminates the difference between the time required for the sound from the different speakers to reach the listening position. Setting the time correction of the front left speaker to
5.1 ms makes it possible to coordinate the distance from the listening position to the speaker.
5 Press the TCR/PHASE button to set the time
correction mode.

NOTES
• When the speaker is set to the “OFF” mode, the
graphic equalizer for that speaker is ineffective. Refer to “Setting the speakers” (page 4).
• Check the playable frequency ranges of the connected
speakers before making the equalizer adjustments. If the speaker’s playable frequency range is 55 Hz to 30 kHz, for example, adjusting the 40 Hz or 20 Hz band has no effect. Additionally, you may overload and damage the speakers.
• After making the settings, we recommend storing
them in the memory. For instructions, see page 28.
• When graphic EQ is adjusted, the adjustment for
parametric EQ becomes ineffective.
Page 15
Parametric equalizer adjustments
The frequency bands of the graphic equalizer are fixed. This makes it very difficult to correct for undesired peaks and dips at specific frequencies. The parametric equalizer’s center frequency can be tuned these specific frequencies. Then, the bandwidth (Q) and level are fine-tuned, independently, to make the necessary corrections. The parametric equalizer function is an advanced tool for serious audiophiles.
6Turn the Rotary encoder to select the
frequency, then press the ENTER button. For the adjustable frequencies, see page 43.

NOTES
• When the speaker is set to the “OFF” mode, the parametric equalizer for that speaker is ineffective. Refer to “Setting the speakers” (page 4).
• It is not possible to adjust the frequencies of adjacent bands within 7 steps.
• Check the playable frequency ranges of the connected speakers before making the equalizer adjustments. If the speaker's playable frequency range is 55 Hz to 30 kHz, for example, adjusting the 40 Hz or 20 Hz band has no effect. Additionally, you may overload and damage the speakers.
• After making the settings, we recommend storing them in the memory. For instructions, see page 28.
• When parametric EQ is adjusted, the adjustment for graphic EQ becomes ineffective.

Signals with these frequencies output
The PXA-H700 is equipped with an active crossover allowing the frequency bands to be split before amplification. Because of this, there is no need for a passive network between the speakers and amplifiers. This makes the amplifiers fully independent, eliminating the problem of interference. This also makes it possible to achieve the optimum acoustic space by dividing the playback frequencies in a way suited to the speaker’s response. This adjustment requires sufficient knowledge and experience. If you have problems, we suggest you have the adjustment made by your store authorized of Alpine dealer.
Adjust the high pass filter (H.P.F.) and low pass filter (L.P.F.) and set the slope (filter response attenuation slope) for the different bands. Make the adjustments according to the playable frequency ranges and frequency responses of the connected speakers.

Hint for adjusting the subwoofer
• If the subwoofer is installed on the rear deck, setting a gentle L.P.F. slope (for example 6 dB/ oct.) makes the sound localization more to the rear. This can also affect the acoustic localization of the front.
Hints for adjusting the high range
• Depending on the speaker, inputting low frequency component signals (about 2 kHz or less) with the H.P.F. adjustment could result in distortion. If so, set a steep slope (for example 30 dB/oct.). When doing so, adjust so that the mid and high range sounds do not separate.
• Normally use with the L.P.F. off. If the high range is too strong, we recommend adjusting for a gentle slope.
Hint for adjusting the low range
• When a subwoofer is connected and you are using a speaker with a low range of under 10 or 12 cm (3-15/16" or 4-3/4"), setting the low range H.P.F. to “OFF” can result in distortion when low frequency components are input. If so, set the H.P.F. slope to a value suited for the speaker’s frequency response.
NOTES
• In order to protect the speakers, if Tweeter is selected in Front 1, there is no filter OFF (slope OFF) setting for H.P.F. For the same reason, the subwoofer low pass filter cannot be turned off (the slope cannot be set to “OFF”.)
• When the speaker is set to the “OFF” mode, the X­OVER for that speaker is ineffective. Refer to “Setting the speakers” (page 4).
• Check the playback frequencies of the connected speakers before adjusting.
• After making the settings, we recommend storing them in the memory. For instructions, see page 28.

Installation and Connections
Before installing or connecting the unit, please read the following and pages 2 and 3 of this manual thoroughly for proper use.
Warning
DO NOT DISASSEMBLE OR ALTER.
Doing so may result in an accident, fire or electric shock.
USE THE CORRECT AMPERE RATING WHEN REPLACING FUSES.
Failure to do so may result in fire or electric shock.
MAKE THE CORRECT CONNECTIONS.
Failure to make the proper connections may result in fire or product damage.
USE ONLY IN CARS WITH A 12 VOLT NEGATIVE GROUND.
(Check with your dealer if you are not sure.) Failure to do so may result in fire, etc.
BEFORE WIRING, DISCONNECT THE CABLE FROM THE NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL.
Failure to do so may result in electric shock or injury due to electrical shorts.
DO NOT ALLOW CABLES TO BECOME ENTANGLED IN SURROUNDING OBJECTS.
Arrange wiring and cables in compliance with the manual to prevent obstructions when driving. Cables or wiring that obstruct or hang up on places such as the steering wheel, shift lever, brake pedals, etc. can be extremely hazardous.
DO NOT SPLICE INTO ELECTRICAL CABLES.
Never cut away cable insulation to supply power to other equipment. Doing so will exceed the current carrying capacity of the wire and result in fire or electric shock.
DO NOT DAMAGE PIPE OR WIRING WHEN DRILLING HOLES.
When drilling holes in the chassis for installation, take precautions so as not to contact, damage or obstruct pipes, fuel lines, tanks or electrical wiring. Failure to take such precautions may result in fire.
DO NOT USE BOLTS OR NUTS IN THE BRAKE OR STEERING SYSTEMS TO MAKE GROUND CONNECTIONS.
Bolts or nuts used for the brake or steering systems (or any other safety-related system), or tanks should NEVER be used for installations or ground connections. Using such parts could disable control of the vehicle and cause fire etc.
DO NOT INSTALL THE MONITOR NEAR THE PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG.
If the unit is not installed correctly the air bag may not function correctly and when triggered the air bag may cause the monitor to spring upwards causing an accident and injuries.
DO NOT BLOCK VENTS OR RADIATOR PANELS.
Doing so may cause heat to build up inside and may result in fire.
KEEP SMALL OBJECTS SUCH AS BATTERIES OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.
Swallowing them may result in serious injury. If swallowed, consult a physician immediately.
DO NOT INSTALL IN LOCATIONS WHICH MIGHT HINDER VEHICLE OPERATION, SUCH AS THE STEERING WHEEL OR SHIFT LEVER.
Doing so may obstruct forward vision or hamper movement etc. and results in serious accident.
Caution
HAVE THE WIRING AND INSTALLATION DONE BY EXPERTS.
The wiring and installation of this unit requires special technical skill and experience. To ensure safety, always contact the dealer where you purchased this product to have the work done.
USE SPECIFIED ACCESSORY PARTS AND INSTALL THEM SECURELY.
Be sure to use only the specified accessory parts. Use of other than designated parts may damage this unit internally or may not securely install the unit in place. This may cause parts to become loose resulting in hazards or product failure.
30-EN
Page 33
ARRANGE THE WIRING SO IT IS NOT CRIMPED OR PINCHED BY A SHARP METAL EDGE.
Route the cables and wiring away from moving parts (like the seat rails) or sharp or pointed edges. This will prevent crimping and damage to the wiring. If wiring passes through a hole in metal, use a rubber grommet to prevent the wire’s insulation from being cut by the metal edge of the hole.
DO NOT INSTALL IN LOCATIONS WITH HIGH MOISTURE OR DUST.
Avoid installing the unit in locations with high incidence of moisture or dust. Moisture or dust that penetrates into this unit may result in product failure.
Precautions
• Be sure to disconnect the cable from the (–) battery post before installing your PXA-H700. This will reduce any chance of damage to the unit in case of a short-circuit.
• Be sure to connect the color coded leads according to the diagram. Incorrect connections may cause the unit to malfunction or damage to the vehicle’s electrical system.
• When making connections to the vehicle’s electrical system, be aware of the factory installed components (e.g. on-board computer). Do not tap into these leads to provide power for this unit. When connecting the PXA-H700 to the fuse box, make sure the fuse for the intended circuit of the PXA-H700 has the appropriate amperage. Failure to do so may result in damage to the unit and/or the vehicle. When in doubt, consult your ALPINE dealer.
• The PXA-H700 uses female RCA-type jacks for connection to other units (e.g. amplifier) having RCA connectors. You may need an adaptor to connect other units. If so, please contact your authorized ALPINE dealer for assistance.
FR
ES
Wiring Connections
Improper wiring connections could cause serious damage to your audio system. Be sure you:
1. DO NOT connect (–) wires from left and right speakers together.
2. DO NOT ground any speaker wires.
3. DO NOT run wires where they may be pinched or cut.
4. DO NOT leave bare speaker terminals exposed. They may contact the vehicle chassis and cause a short.
Fuse
When replacing the fuse(s), the replacement fuse must be of the same amperage as shown on the fuse holder. If the fuse(s) blows more than once, carefully check all electrical connections for shorted circuitry. Also have your vehicle’s voltage regulator checked. Do not attempt to repair the unit yourself; return it to your Alpine dealer or nearest Alpine Service Station for servicing.
Temperature
In order to ensure proper performance, be sure the temperature in your vehicle is above 14°F (–10°C) and below 140°F (60°C) before turning your unit on. Good air circulation is essential to prevent internal heat build-up in the unit.

Information
Terminology
Dolby Digital
Dolby Digital is a digital audio compression technology developed by Dolby Laboratories that allows large quantities of audio data to be efficiently recorded on discs. It is compatible with audio signals from mono (1 channel) all the way up to 5.1-channel surround sound. The signals for the different channels are completely independent, and since the sound is high quality digital there is no loss of sound quality.
Center speaker
Front speakers
Dolby Pro Logic II
Dolby Pro Logic II provides multichannel surround sound from any 2 channel source. It reproduces extended bandwidth playbac k with 5.1 channels. This is made possible by an advanced matrix surround decoder. This new decoder is able to draw out spatial characteristics of the recording without adding tonal coloration or artificial delays that did not exist in the original.
Linear PCM audio (LPCM)
LPCM is a signal recording format used for music CDs. Whereas music CDs are recorded at 44.1 kHz/ 16 bits, DVDs are recorded at 48 kHz/16 bits to 96 kHz/24 bits, thereby achieving higher sound quality than music CDs.
