Adjusting the input level
Using with Ai-NET connections
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).
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.
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”.

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")
Rotary encoder
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.
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.

Check that the defeat mode is off.
(See page 28.)
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.
Sit in the listening position (the driver’s seat, for
example) and measure the distance (in meters)
between your head and the various speakers.

Calculate the difference in distance between the
farthest speaker and the other speakers.
L = (distance of farthest speaker)
– (distance of other speakers)
Divide the distances calculated for the different
speakers by the speed of sound (343 m/s

This value is the time correction value for the
different speakers.

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.

H.P.F. cutoff frequency L.P.F. cutoff frequency
The H.P.F. setting cannot be the same as or

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.
•
•
The crossover network is a filter that divides
specific frequency bands.
The high pass filter is a filter that cuts
frequencies below a certain frequency (bass
frequencies) and lets through treble
frequencies.
The low pass filter is a filter that cuts
frequencies above a certain frequency
(treble frequencies) and lets through bass
frequencies.
The slope is a value expressing the
attenuation of the signal in decibels when the
frequency is increased or decreased by one
octave.
The higher the slope value, the steeper the
slope.
If the slope is set to “OFF”, the signal does
not pass through the filter, so there is no
effect.
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”.)
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 X-
OVER 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.

Adjusting the acoustic image
In most installations, the center speaker must be
placed directly between the front passenger and
driver. Using this function, the center channel
information is distributed to the left and right
speakers. This creates an acoustic image
simulating a center speaker directly in front of
each listener. Adjusting the center width in
DOLBY PL II MUSIC (see “Using the Pro Logic II
mode”, page 20), makes this function ineffective.
NOTE
Avoid stopping, pausing, switching the disc, cueing,
fast-forwarding or switching the audio channel of the
player while making this adjustment. The setting is
canceled if the decode mode is switched.

Insta lla tion a nd Conne c tions
Before installing or connecting the unit, please
read the following and pages 2 and 3 of this
manual thoroughly for proper use.
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.
Warning
DO NOT DISASSEMBLE OR ALTER.
Doing so may result in an accident, fire or electric shock.
DO NOT INSTALL THE MONITOR NEAR THE
PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG.
USE THE CORRECT AMPERE RATING WHEN
REPLACING FUSES.
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.
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.
DO NOT BLOCK VENTS OR RADIATOR PANELS.
Doing so may cause heat to build up inside and may result
in fire.
USE ONLY IN CARS WITH A 12 VOLT NEGATIVE
GROUND.
KEEP SMALL OBJECTS SUCH AS BATTERIES OUT
OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.
(Check with your dealer if you are not sure.) Failure to do
so may result in fire, etc.
Swallowing them may result in serious injury. If
swallowed, consult a physician immediately.
BEFORE WIRING, DISCONNECT THE CABLE FROM
THE NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL.
DO NOT INSTALL IN LOCATIONS WHICH MIGHT
HINDER VEHICLE OPERATION, SUCH AS THE
STEERING WHEEL OR GEARSHIFT.
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.
Doing so may obstruct forward vision or hamper
movement etc. and results in serious accident.
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, gear lever, brake pedals, etc. can be extremely
hazardous.
Caution
HAVE THE WIRING AND INSTALLATION DONE BY
EXPERTS.
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.
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.
DO NOT DAMAGE PIPE OR WIRING WHEN
DRILLING HOLES.
USE SPECIFIED ACCESSORY PARTS AND INSTALL
THEM SECURELY.
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.
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
ARRANGE THE WIRING SO IT IS NOT CRIMPED OR
PINCHED BY A SHARP METAL EDGE.
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.
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.
•
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.
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.

NOTE
When using the PXA-H700 with a non-Ai-NET head unit, +12V is required on this line to turn on the equalizer. If your
*
head unit does not have a remote-on or power-antenna turn-on wire, an SPST switch must be connected between an
ignition source and this terminal. The PXA-H700 can then be turned on using this switch.
The PXA-H700 can be used with any head unit. However, only an Alpine Ai-NET compatible head unit will be able to
take full advantage of all the features and functions of this processor.

Dolby Pro Logic II
Terminology
Dolby Pro Logic II provides multichannel surround
sound from any 2 channel source. It reproduces
extended bandwidth playback 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.
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.
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.

This is a home-use digital sound format of the DTS
Sound System. This is a high quality sound system,
developed by Digital Theater Systems Corp for use
in movie theaters.
DTS has six independent sound tracks. The theater
presentation is fully realized in the home and other
settings. DTS is the abbreviation for Digital Theater
Systems.
