Using with Ai-NET connections
When Ai-NET connections are used, the volume,
subwoofer, balance and fader are adjusted from
the head unit (they cannot be adjusted from the
PXA-H700). However, BASS and TREB can not
be adjusted from the head unit, so adjust them
from PXA-H700.

The PXA-H700 is equipped with three sets of
analog signal inputs and three sets of digital
signal inputs. For further information about
connections, see Page 36.

Adjusting the input level
Using the analog, RCA-type connections, the
PXA-H700’s input level must be preset from the
head unit.
Adjust the input level using a sound source with
a high recording level (such as pop or rock
music).
1 Turn on the head unit’s power.
2 Turn the Rotary encoder on the main unit
counterclockwise and set the volume level to “0”.
3 Gradually increase the volume of the head unit
until “INPUT LEVEL OVER” appears in the
display.
Reduce the volume slightly from this position,
until “INPUT LEVEL OVER” display just turns off .
This completes the setting.
Do not change the head unit volume level from
this optimum setting. Use the PXA-H700, only,
for changing the volume level.
NOTE
Switch to the spectrum analyzer display mode or the
input channel display mode before adjusting the input
level. (See page 29)
Adjusting the volume, balance, fader and subwoofer
After determining the input level, adjust the

NOTE
Non Ai-NET connections
Alpine products are equipped for a bus connection
system called “Ai-NET” which can only be used for
connections between Ai-NET products.
The PXA-H700 is an Ai-NET product, but is designed to
allow connections to other (non Ai-NET) products as
well. Thus RCA-type and optical cable connections are
also possible.
Connections to non Ai-NET products are referred to as
“non Ai-NET connections”.

(Automated Time Correction)
Due to the particular conditions inside the

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.

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.
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.
